Overview
\"Just A Girl is the sensitive, personal story of the author's ambition to become and succeed as a scientist during the \"white man in power\" era of the 1950s to 2010s. In the male-dominated science world, she struggles from girlhood unworthiness to sexist battles in jobs on the farms and in the restaurants of America, in academia's laboratories and field research communities, and in the executive corner office. Jackson overcomes pain, shame, and self-blame, learns to believe in herself when others don't, and becomes a champion for others. The turbulent legal and social background of sexual harassment and sexism in America over seven decades is delivered as \"history with emotion.\" Just a Girl is also a call to action: it identifies the court cases and lawsuits that helped advance the cultural changes we see today; outlines the pressing need for a Boys and Men Liberation (BAML) movement; highlights new approaches by parents; advocates for changes in our universities; and suggests a different direction for corporate America to take to stop the cycle of sexual harassment. Eye-opening and inspiring, it points the way to a brighter future for women everywhere\"--Amazon.
