In 1999 as the millennium was drawing
to a close, we decided that the time
was right to introduce a new type of web
site highlighting the contributions that
women are making to marine science.
We envisioned a web site where women
considering careers in oceanography
could read about the experiences of
successful women and learn from their
choices; that would convey the excitement
of groundbreaking research in
oceanography and serve as a resource for
teachers, scientists, and the general public;
and that would celebrate a group of
remarkable women and bring a human
face to those working in marine science.
