Dr. Carlyn Halde was the epitome of a free spirit. She lived her life with curiosity and adventure. She was a groundbreaker for women in science, becoming one of the first Fulbright Scholar recipients. She dedicated her life to the pursuit of knowledge and helping others to pursue their dreams through her many philanthropic contributions. But how did she manage to sidestep the conventional limits of women in the 1940s and pursue the life she envisioned for herself? It is a story of having the self-confidence to follow your dreams, the foresight to plan for them, and the persistence to follow them through. It remains a blueprint for any woman trying to establish herself in science today.
