Interviewee	Singleton, Mary (b. 1936)
Description--Biography	Mary Singleton (b. 1936) received her B.S. (1958) in Chemistry from Wheaton College and her M.S. (1960) in Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley.

Date	2002
Location of Interview	Berkeley, CA
Interviewer	Zanish-Belcher, Tanya
Collection	Archives of Women in Science and Engineering; http://www.lib.iastate.edu/spcl/wise/wise.html
Collection Description	The Archives of Women in Science and Engineering ongoing Oral History Projects documents the experiences of American women in science and engineering. Historically, women have been denied the opportunity to pursue their career goals in science and engineering, although many women still managed to contribute. Oral history provides a view of female subcultures which have traditionally been created where women were not allowed to fully participate. The history of science is one of the primary historical events of the twentieth century, and these oral history interviews illustrate the integral role that women have played in its development.
