Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
'Lucid, compelling evidence on the need for systemic change within
academia and scientific research institutions to make the most of
women s talents.' - Helen Wollaston, Chief Executive, WISE This
timely book brings together expert scholarly contributions based on
individual and institutional experiences of gender inequality in
Europe and the USA. Featuring key empirical insights, contributors
explore the ways in which gender produces differences in
opportunities across STEM subjects in universities. Leading authors
in the field investigate and propose strategies to improve gender
equality in academic environments by focusing on how to overcome
indifference, cultural resistance and backlash. This book not only
demonstrates the reality of women's networking experiences in STEM
in different geographical and institutional contexts but provides
evidence of the effectiveness of specific measures introduced to
combat inequality in science and innovation. Enlightening and
provocative, this book introduces key insights and critical
questions for researchers of gender inequality in science and
innovation. This book will also be vital for researchers and
students of entrepreneurship as the need for a firm interrogation
of the causes and consequences of gender inequality in business
grows. Contributors include: M.C. Agodi, S. Bagchi-Sen, N. Baines,
