Persisting differences between women's and men's experiences in science make this question as relevant today as it ever was. This book sets out to answer this question, and to propose solutions for the future. Based on extensive research, it emphasizes that science is an intensely social activity. Despite the scientific ethos of universalism and inclusion, scientists and their institutions are not immune to the prejudices of society as a whole. By presenting women's experiences at all key career stages - from childhood to retirement - the authors reveal the hidden barriers, subtle exclusions and unwritten rules of the scientific workplace, and the effects, both professional and personal, that these have on the female scientist. This important book should be read by all scientists - both male and female - and sociologists, as well as women thinking of embarking on a scientific career. 606 $aWomen in science 606 $aWomen in technology 615 0$aWomen in science. 615 0$aWomen in technology. 676 $a500/.82 700 $aEtzkowitz$b Henry$f1940-$0146690 701 $aKemelgor$b Carol$f1944-$01764209 701 $aUzzi$b Brian$f1960-$01764210 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822857303321 996 $aAthena unbound$94204983 997 $aUNINA
