Women in Science

Women in Science explores the persistent sexism and gender bias in the male-dominated world of science. In the 1980s, author and essayist Vivian Gornick interviewed women who were often the only ones in their laboratory. In this new edition she follows up with many of them to uncover that not much has changed. Though little progress has been made toward gender equality in scientific fields, Gornick shows that women still continue to defy gender stereotypes and persist in pushing the boundaries of possibilities.
