Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives: Women in Science, 1789-1979 (Douglass Series on Woman's Lives and the Meaning of Gender)

Rating:
Summary: Interplay between career and a woman's family/spouse life
Review: Focuses on 19th and 20th century American and European women scientists. It was great to read a challenge to the myth that science has been done only by men, even in the first part of the 19th century. Great introduction by the editors of essays written by 12 women historians. References, notes and a decent index helps for further reading and wondering when the "men of science" will wake up and smell the coffee.
