Additional quotes by Grace Oladunni Taylor
have been working with the Nigerian branch of TWOWS (Third World Organization for Women in Science) to encourage women in their research projects and to encourage them to become leaders in our profession. At a meeting of this organization in Cape Town, South Africa I am proud to say that several other L'OREAL-UNESCO For Women in Science Laureates were in attendance. In fact, I took a tape of the 1998 ceremony to show everyone there that L'OREAL and UNESCO really are doing something for women in science.
