Why are there so few prominent female physicists? Traditionally
women have faced barriers in higher education, denying them access
to higher learning and scientific laboratories. Today many of these
barriers have been breached, but the female pioneers who overcame
discrimination and became major players in their fields remain
largely in the shadows. Their names deserve to be known and the
importance of their work, achievements and contributions to science
warrant recognition. Originally published in 2006, Out of the
Shadows provides an accurate and authoritative description of the
women who made original and important contributions to physics in
the twentieth century, documenting their major discoveries and
putting their work into its historical context. Each chapter
concentrates on a different woman, and is written by a physicist
with considerable experience in their field. The book is an ideal
reference for anyone with an interest in science and social
history.
