#METOO A autobiographical chronicle of the career of a female professor during the twentieth and early twenty-first century. No amount of description could ever detail the bullying and harassment she received during her career. This biography exposes the underside of higher education that will shock you. Every student going to college, every parent, every person who has worked in higher education should read this book. It reveals the ambitions of bureaucrats and the lack of ambition by others.

From the first woman Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Bertha von Suttner (1905), to the latest and youngest female Nobel laureate, Malala Yousafzai (2014), this book in its second edition provides a detailed look at the lives and accomplishments of each of these sixteen Prize winners. They did not expect recognition or fame for their work--economist Emily Greene Balch (1946) was surprised to learn that anyone knew about her. But they did not work in isolation: all met with discouragement, derision, threats or--in Yousafazi's case--attempted murder and exile. A history of the Prize and a biographical sketch of Alfred Nobel are included.
