2017 Presidential Address: Checking, Balancing, and Celebrating Diversity: Celebrating Some of the Women Who Paved the Way1

Given that the verbal presentation and slides of the 2017  ASHG presidential address are available on the ASHG website, it seemed appropriate to take the opportunity in this article to provide more detailed information on some of the women—highlighted in the presentation—who have made contributions to the science of human genetics. Among those highlig hted, I will focus on the subset of women who I have known personally. Human genetics has a long history of strong female scientists who not only contributed greatly to science but also paved—and smoothed—the way for those who came after.
