It's Not Enough What I Did In

Babies Did Not Attract Me, And I Was Altogether Without The Maternal Sense So Highly Developed In Small And Adolescent Girls.

The Instruments, Glassware, And Chemical Reagents Necessary For My Project Were The Same As My 19th-century Predecessors Had.

My Experience In Childhood And Adolescence Of The Subordinate Role Played By The Female In A Society Run Entirely By Men Had Convinced Me That I Was Not Cut Out To Be A Wife.

At 20, I Realized That I Could Not Possibly Adjust To A Feminine Role As Conceived By My Father And Asked Him Permission To Engage In A Professional Career. In Eight Months I Filled My Gaps In Latin, Greek And Mathematics, Graduated From High School, And Entered Medical School In Turin.

If I Had Not Been Discriminated Against Or Had Not Suffered Persecution, I Would Never Have Received The Nobel Prize.
