WWII
Cynthia Zang Facer Clark
Cynthia Clark’s mother was a chemist prior to WWII and her father was an agricultural loan officer and bank director, so studying mathematics and science was not unusual for a girl in her home. She pursued mathematics until it was clear to her there were better career opportunities in statistics for a woman. A longtime leader in the official statistics community, she is the executive director of the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics.
