There was a single book on this Lewis. I do not have any books on any scientist, other than Darwin, where the book is on just one person. I had a kids book that had good brief biographies of several, I don't have that anymore. So this is a first, 28 dollars wasted on a 200 page paperback.
I was looking into women chemists, and again there was only a kids level book on Gertrude Elion, among several others. I've met her.

she was a victim of the "we don't give PhD's to women" era of chemistry
