Great interview, and I'll definitely read her book! I see parallels between it and one of my favorite books from last year, "Brave the Wild River" by Melissa Sevigny, about two women scientists in 1938 who rafted the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. The sensationalistic, sexist coverage of their expedition focused on their likelihood of failure and potential "cat fights," ignoring their scientific purpose.
