Co-author of The Double Bind: The Price of Being a Minority Woman in Science (1976)

Malcom was amazed at the lack of the minorities and women in her classes and faculty members while in college. Because of this experience, she decided to take action by becoming the program manager for the Minority Institutions Science Improvement Program at the National Science Foundation in 1977. The program provided federal funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities for improved equipment and facilities as well as higher salaries for the faculty. Malcom is considered a pioneer in the field of diversity in STEM education.
