- Description
- In deze update van Darwin voor dames verkent Vandermassen het spanningsveld tussen feminisme en biologische wetenschappen. Wat zijn de recente ontwikkelingen? Staan feministen open voor de evolutiepsychologie? Die discipline is de voorbije vijftien jaar sterk veranderd. Welk nieuw onderzoek verscheen er? Ze pleit voor een nieuw feminisme. De verwerping van seksisme is immers gebaseerd op morele principes, niet op de stelling dat mannen en vrouwen gelijk zijn.

- Description
- Sea Legs is the story of Kathleen Crane, one of the first women oceanographers out of UCSD's world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography. As a consequence of the difficulty of working in the U.S. gender segregated society during the 70s, she felt her only scientific future lay with cooperation with Europeans and even the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. In the process she became an 'accidental diplomat.' An explorer, environmentalist, and filmmaker, Crane's story encompasses the world's oceans, politics, and international relations, scientific espionage, ships, and a passion for the natural world

- Description
- In this volume the author expands her scope to include the contributions of 19th- and early 20th-century women of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The women whose lives and work are discussed here range from natural history collectors and scientific illustrators of the early and mid years of the 19th century to the first generation of graduates of the new colonial colleges and universities. Rarely acknowledged in publications of the British and European specialists, the contributions of these women nonetheless formed a significant part of the natural history information about extensive, previously unknown regions and their products. Rather than a biographical dictionary or a collection of self-contained essays on individuals from many time periods, Ladies in the Laboratory III is a connected narrative tied into the wider framework of 19th-century science and education. A well-organized blend of individual life stories and quantitative information, this volume is for everyone interested in the story of women's participation in 19th century science.

- Description
- Mimi Koehl tinkers with machines. Some are so tiny they can’t be seen by the naked eye, and some disappeared millions of years ago. But Mimi isn’t a mechanic. She’s a biomechanist. Mimi Koehl uses engineering and physics to study the designs of living things that fly, swim, drift, and crawl. She loves solving riddles about how creatures—from feathered dinosaurs to flying frogs—live and move. Mimi’s curiosity has led her into all kinds of natural neighborhoods. She has braved turbulent waters to explore how giant green sea anemones survive crashing waves.

- Description
- This volume explores the interactions between gender and scientific research. It examines the ways scientists have researched gender throughout history, the influence of those results on society's perceptions of women, and the impact of those findings on the scientific community and on women, women scientists, and women's rights movements., The book is divided into two major sections, chronological and thematic. The articles in the chronological section highlight changes in time through historical eras and are international in scope. The format alternates between sociohistoric accounts and biographical essays listing and describing influential women in the field of science. The thematic section is divided into six subcategories and contains articles on the individual disciplines of science, aspects of human behavior, institutions, discrimination, and philosophical and theoretical critiques concerning women and science. Examples of articles in this section: the brain, mental illness, personality, hormones, menopause, homosexuality, race, nature/nurture, education, motherhood, religion, universities, professional societies, women scientists as leaders, and Nobel laureates. Other examples include: Feminist philosophy of science: Biologists who study gender/feminism: Historians of science who focus on feminism: Primatologists who focus on females/gender: Ecofeminism: Race, postcolonial gender, and science: Feminist science studies: Women's health movement: and Science fiction.

- Description
- This volume examines reasons for the persistence of barriers that block the full participation and advancement of underrepresented groups in the sciences and addresses how academic departments and universities can remedy the situation. As a whole, the volume shows positive examples of institutions and departments that have been transformed by the inclusion of women and recommends a set of best practices for continuing growth in positive directions in the United States.

- Description
- A collection of fifteen original essays analyzing gender in the imagery of science.The book focuses on visual and figural images as a way to study the workings of gender in science, and on gender as a way to examine how images in science contain and convey meaning. Roughly chronological in organization, part one focuses on mythological and metaphorical depictions of gender in early frontispieces, while part two looks at realistic images such as photos, illustrations, and exhibits from the nineteenth century. Part three highlights the workings of cultural norms of gender in twentieth-century science, illustrated through discussions of photos, television shows, advertising, and digital imagery. A common theme in the book is an emphasis on questions of representation and interpretive problems such as agency and identity. The volume explores a host of themes, including the gendered cultures of science and medicine, technologies of display, and the role of sexualities and sexual difference in the construction of figural vocabularies of science.

- Description
- This volume is the first to aim at summarizing all of the scientific literature published so far regarding male-female differences and similarities, not only in behavior, but also in basic biology, physiology, health, perceptions, emotions, and attitudes. Results from over 18,000 studies have been condensed into more than 1,900 tables, with each table pertaining to a specific possible sex difference. Even research pertaining to how men and women are perceived (stereotyped) as being different is covered. Throughout this book's eleven years in preparation, no exclusions were made in terms of subject areas, cultures, time periods, or even species. The book is accompanied by a CD containing all 18,000+ references cited in the book.
