- Description
- This book analyses two questions: Why are there so few women in engineering? And why is this so difficult to change? The study includes data from two major surveys, accounts from female engineers in a range of locations and engineering fields, and case studies of three large engineering corporations. The authors explore the history and politics of several organisations related to women in engineering, how women are challenging engineering through associations and networks and conclude with an analysis of a range of campaigns that have been waged to address the issue of women’s minority status in engineering.
