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.
