The Laboratory was founded in 1946 and is one of the nation's leading energy research centers. It develops and assesses nuclear and alternative energy technologies and conducts a wide range of fundamental and applied research in the physical, environmental, and biomedical sciences. Research disciplines range from biology, physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, and computer science to advanced energy and environmental science and technology. The Laboratory is operated by the University of Chicago under contract to the U.S. Dept. of Energy and currently employs over 5000 people.

This collection (1990-1992) contains two printed copies of presentations from the "Science Careers in Search of Women" conference, sponsored by Argonne Laboratories. Also included are question and answer sessions with the audience that offer insight into science and engineering students.
