The book highlights women's contributions to science, which have
often been marginalized and overlooked throughout history. The book
first provides an overview of the development of the various
science professions over time - placed in socioeconomic and
cultural contexts - and women's role in the sciences throughout
history. The author then exemplifies - through history, example,
and case studies - that although women were denied a scientific
education until fairly recently in our history, they have
nevertheless demonstrated intellect and capability in mathematics,
physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and computer
sciences throughout time. Biographies of women who contributed to
these fields since before the Common Era are interwoven into a
discussion of the development of the scientific profession, the
advancement of education, the professionalization of the various
scientific occupations, and the advancement of women in society.
This book is a follow up to the author's book "Engineering Women:
Re-visioning Women's Scientific Achievements and Impacts" (Springer
2017). The author, Jill Tietjen, is the series editor for
Springer's Women in Engineering and Science book series.
Illuminates the many significant contributions of women in the
sciences; Educates readers about the evolution of women's
participation in the scientific fields over the last century;
Demonstrates how key scientific advances are driven by
socio-economic and cultural contexts.
