There was a single book on this Lewis. I do not have any books on any scientist, other than Darwin, where the book is on just one person. I had a kids book that had good brief biographies of several, I don't have that anymore. So this is a first, 28 dollars wasted on a 200 page paperback.

I was looking into women chemists, and again there was only a kids level book on Gertrude Elion, among several others. I've met her.

she was a victim of the "we don't give PhD's to women" era of chemistry

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...
