- Description
- This book examines both the role of gender as an organizing principle of social life and the relative position of women scientists within national and international labor markets. While considering women’s representation in science as a whole, examinations of women in the chemical sciences, computing, mathematics and statistics are offered as examples to provide insights into how differing disciplinary cultures, functional tasks and socio-historical conditions can affect the advancement of women in science relative to important variations in educational and occupational realities.
