Comfort, Nathaniel. 2001. Barbara McClintock's Search for the Patterns of Genetic Control. Boston, MA: Harvard University PressBarbara McClintock (1901-1992), a geneticist who integrated classical genetics with microscopic observations of the behavior chromosomes, was regarded as a genius and as an unorthodox, nearly incomprehensible thinker. Using McClintock's research notes, newly available correspondence, and dozens of interview with her others, Comfort replaces the "McClintock myth" with a new story rich with implications for our understanding of women in science and scientific creativity.
