Athena Unbound The Advancement of Women in Science and Technology

"It is one of the best studies I have read on contemporary issues relating to womens participation in science. The book is based on qualitative and quantitative studies of the difference between the experience of men and that of women in scientific education and professional life, particularly from graduate school onward.These findings are placed in several useful contexts...I found ATHENA UNBOUND so gripping that I read it in one sitting. I expect that many women scientists, and their families, will find that it articulates as a general problem issues they have encountered in their own careers. Much of what is said here is true for academia more generally--I am a historian of science, not a scientist, and many of these issues affected me or my close friends."Etzkowitz, Henry is the author of 'Athena Unbound The Advancement of Women in Science and Technology', published 2000 under ISBN 9780521787383 and ISBN 0521787386.
