Lois Aileen Bey
Lois Aileen Bey (born May 8, 1929) is an American chemical engineer who overcame overt sexism throughout her lifetime. On June 9, 1950, she made history as the first woman to graduate from the chemical engineering program at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). She was also the only woman in the program at that time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iit.edu/engineering/chbe/about/history/lois_bey_profile.shtml )〕 Her graduation ceremony took place at the Civic Opera House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.innertalk.com/Lois_Bey.html )〕
==Early life==
Bey's did not come from an engineering background, though she believes that she inherited her unusually good long-term memory from her father. Neither of Bey's parents attended college. Bey experienced sexism since the day she was born; her mother made it clear to her that she had wanted a boy, in case the health problems in Lois Bey's older brother Roy prevented him from growing to adulthood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.djgcreate.com/swe/joomla/images/PDFs/swe%20women_transcript%20bey.pdf )〕
Bey's parents had traditional gender roles. At the age of twenty-one, Bey's mother set out to get married, to avoid becoming a spinster. She composed a list of qualifications that she required in a husband, which included the ability to entertain. Bey's father Leroy Karl Bey was a pianist for Sophie Tucker and Ethel Merman at the time. Her mother persuaded him to propose within six months.〔
During the Depression, Bey experienced more sexism when a black neighbor named Hemmie offered childcare services to her mother. She allowed Hemmie to take Lois but not her brother Roy because "I wouldn’t trust my son to strangers." Despite the sexism, Bey enjoyed her time with the other neighborhood children because she could gain experiences that were not available at her home: books, parks, and zoos.〔
