Interview with biologist and social activist, Dr. Marian Lowe, for Marianne Ainley’s research about women scientists in Canada. They discuss Lowe’s background growing up in a small working class town with her twin sister Maggie Benston. Lowe talks about the pressure of gender roles while growing up, and later the sexism they both faced working in post-secondary institutions, including their interactions with male colleagues and being passed over for positions. Lowe also explains Maggie’s role in the women’s movement and her chemistry research at SFU.
