"Anomalies--Pioneering Women in Petroleum Geology: 1917-2017 is a celebration of individual
courage, tenacity, and professionalism as well as a timely reminder of our past, when
male-dominated professions excluded women. The social structure outside this profession
amplified the struggle for equality: the inability to vote, the dictate that women
should not work outside the home when married, the pervasive practice of lower pay
for equal work, the paucity of advancement opportunities, and the lack of recognition
in companies and associations. Surprisingly, it spans a stretch of time virtually
equal to the time span that men were finally being valued as petroleum geologists.
The timeframe began with the period prior to WWI when even a male geologist was looked
upon with disdain as having no useful purpose in the search for oil. As geologists
gained acceptance, war intervened, creating a vacuum into which the female geology
graduate stepped up to the challenge. The women described in Anomalies took the steppingstones
necessary to gain respect and become leaders in their chosen field. They are celebrated
herein."--Page 4 of cover
