Harriet Latham Robinson juggled marriage and divorce, motherhood and career, long before "having it all" was a part of most women's identities. A Boston-area native, Robinson's high-spirited autobiography recounts a whirlwind life full of travel (including to Russia at the height of the Cold War), receiving a Ph.D. from MIT, raising three boys largely on her own—and ultimately, pursuing a burgeoning career as one of very few women at the forefront of the then-new field of molecular biology.
Robinson's career led her to the center of cutting-edge work on vaccine development, culminating in her position as a co-founder of GeoVax Inc., a biotech company that successfully brought her candidate HIV vaccine into early-stage human trials.
Robinson, now retired and living in California, is Chief Science Officer Emerita at GeoVax. She wrote this book not only for her family, but to encourage young women to recognize that they can take time to have and enjoy children and a family life—while also pursuing challenging and enriching careers.
