Has reading these reports inspired you? Then get started and tell us your own story! What was it like for you when more and more women entered chemistry lecture halls? What was it like to be the first woman in a working group , or as a man to suddenly have a female classmate? What was the situation regarding equal opportunities back then? Was it openly discussed? Were there hurdles? Who studied under the first female professor? Were there situations that you view more critically from today's perspective, or that make you smile today? Did you even find each other for life, or did lasting friendships develop? — and much more. We also want to pay special attention to couples to learn how they managed career and family back then. We hope to receive many stimulating contributions here, because this challenge is still relevant today.

To help you overcome the fear of the blank page, we've put together a suggested outline for you: " Structure of an Article: 'Chemists' Narrate." Barbara Pohl would be happy to accept your contribution.
