No Taming of the Enthusiast — A scenic route into computer science<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISBN: 978-1-9284-5586-8 (paperback); POD ISBN: 978-1-9284-5589-9 (paperback, print-on-demand)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From skylarking at school to a professorship at the best university in Africa. It\u2019s all here in this collection of loosely related memoir-essays: all the twists in the winding road the author travelled to become a female computer science professor at the University of Cape Town. Born and schooled in the Netherlands, Ms Keet didn\u2019t stay home for long. Her winding road had a distinctly international flavour. She has worked and studied in Ireland and Italy, and briefly in Peru and Cuba, before finding her way to South Africa. The author herself says of her essays: \u2018They offer a peek into a kitchen where underway is the making of a woman into an academic scientist when the yeast has been gender-spiked against her chances of rising.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
