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

Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

"For that state in which the law is subject and has no authority, I perceive to be on the highway to ruin; but I see that the state in which the law is above the rulers, and the rulers are the inferiors of the law, has salvation, and every blessing which the Gods can confer." --Plato
Yeah, yeah, don't get excited. That asshole would have encouraged you to continue to follow the law regardless of your leaders too...
