This imbalance continues today, although there are currently more female scientists than ever before. Lars Jaeger spans an arc from antiquity to the present day and portrays the lives and work of the most important female scientists and mathematicians in essay-like introductions. From Hypatia of Alexandria to Emmy Noether and Lisa Randall, they have all achieved great things, decisively advanced science and yet often could not step out of the shadow of their male colleagues. In addition to the exciting portraits of the individual women scientists, the book also sheds light on gender relations in science and their agonisingly slow evolution in favour of women. 606 $aWomen in science 606 $aWomen in science$xHistory 606 $aWomen scientists 615 0$aWomen in science. 615 0$aWomen in science$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen scientists. 676 $a500.82 700 $aJaeger$b Lars$0835567 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910644255503321 996 $aWomen of Genius in Science$93266018 997 $aUNINA
