Lucinda Jackson is the author of Just a Girl: Growing Up Female and Ambitious. As a scientist and business executive, Lucinda spent almost fifty years at three universities and four Fortune 500 companies where she experienced and witnessed the unequal treatment of women. This spurred her to write about how to change that dynamic and how to help women find their power. 

After growing up in California, Oregon, and Washington, she received her Ph.D. in science in Illinois and continued speaking and serving on boards of academic, nonprofit, and industry organizations worldwide. After Peace Corps volunteerism in Palau and teaching science in Mexico, Jackson and her husband returned recently to their home near San Francisco where she enjoys her fantastic women friends, reading, exercise, and helping others.  They are immensely proud of their three liberated sons who are scattered around the globe.

Lucinda is working on a book series about freedom and breaking old patterns.
