Description: "Lived Values, Valued Lives (LVVL) is a series of explorations, representing real and fictionalized biographies, autobiographies, and significant fragments of lives, concerning how a person's values help inform a person's life, how that life expresses those values, and the principled ways in which intelligent individuals deal with life's vagaries."

Clarke, Adjunct Professor of History of Health Sciences, UC San Francisco" ""Vibrant views from the full arc of a woman scientist's career; not just climbing a rainbow, but creating it from storms and light, descending toward the gold of shared wisdom under a triple-rainbow of science, love, and womanhood."
