Women in the developed world expect to work in the labour force over the course of their lives. On finishing school more girls are entering universities and undertaking professional training for careers than ever before. Males and females enter many high status professions in roughly equal numbers. However, engineering stands out as a profession that remains obstinately male dominated. Despite efforts to change, little progress has been made in attracting and retaining women in engineering.

This book analyses the outcomes of a decade-long investigation into this phenomenon, fra 410 0$aRoutledge IAFFE Advances in Feminist Economics 606 $aWomen in engineering 606 $aWomen in science 606 $aSex discrimination in science 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen in engineering. 615 0$aWomen in science. 615 0$aSex discrimination in science. 676 $a331.4/82 700 $aMills$b Julie E.$0981708 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452930203321 996 $aChallenging knowledge, sex and power$92240601 997 $aUNINA
