This conversation between two of the pioneers of the women's movement in the Biological Sciences, Mary Clutter (MC), former Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation, and Mary Lake Polan (ML), former head of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Stanford University was arranged, recorded, and transcribed by Anita Klein (Assoc. Prof. University of New Hampshire). In the early 1970's Mary Clutter was a non-tenure track lecturer at Yale University. Mary Lake had completed a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Yale Medical School and was a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Joe Gall in the Department of Biology. Mary Lake went on to earn an M.D. from Yale and was the first woman to complete a residency in OB/GYN at Yale. Virginia (Ginny) Walbot was a graduate student in the lab of Ian Sussex at Yale, Department of Biology.
