Sheffield, Women And Science - Social Impact And Interaction

Abstract

In Women and Science: Social Impact and Interaction, Suzanne Le-May Sheffield provides a unique look at women in science from medieval Europe to the present. This is clear from the beginning of the book, where rather than proceeding chronologically, Sheffield dives right into the career of Marie Curie as a biographical case study of the forces that hindered women in science and the strategies they used to overcome these barriers.
