Avenging
Agnodice:
The Struggles and
Successes of Female Scientists,
Antiquity
to Present
A
two part book about the struggles and successes of female scientists:
past and present.
Short Description:
Throughout history the environment for female scientists has been
at best exclusionary, at worst it has been openly hostile. Why would
anyone voluntarily expose themselves to an environment where they are
unwanted and unwelcome? What were the obstacles the women scientists
had to overcome and how did they succeed to the extent that we even
know their names? This book is an attempt to answer these questions,
both for women of the past and the present.
