In nine concise chapters, ?trbá?ová describes Stephenson's scientific accomplishments and sets these against the socio-political challenges of the time. Stephenson played an important role in the development of biochemistry and molecular biology. She was one of the first scientists to use microorganisms as models for research into cellular biochemical processes and their regulation. Later she went on to coin the term chemical microbiology, which was communicated in her monograph and textbook "Bacterial Metabolism" (1930-1949). Stephenson also actively participated in the establishment of the institutionalized interdisciplinary field of general microbiology which integrated research into diverse forms of microorganisms at various levels of organization. Alongside these scientific achievements, ?trbá?ová outlines Stephenson's constant battle with practices of undeclared discrimination, her important role as one of the first women science managers  and organizers, and her influential position within the scientific community. A scientist of great merit and a role model to women scientists of all disciplines, the life of Marjory Stephenson is of interest to biochemists, molecular biologists, historians of the chemical and biological sciences, and women scientists of all generations. 410 0$aHistory of Chemistry,$x2212-991X 606 $aChemistry?History 606 $aBiology?History 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aHistory of Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C34000 606 $aHistory of Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L31000 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 615 0$aChemistry?History. 615 0$aBiology?History. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 14$aHistory of Chemistry. 615 24$aHistory of Biology. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 676 $a540.922 700 $a?trbá?ová$b So?a$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0909163 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254024303321 996 $aHolding Hands with Bacteria$92504848 997 $aUNINA
