As you know I am writing a book about the history of African Amercan women chemists so I am going to give you a quiz.
I will post some photos and I am going to ask you to identify them and what was their claim to fame. The only clue is they were all chemists but what did they do?
Ok. Its up to you to tell me who they are and what they did. That's a hint they are all deceased.
Good Luck
