An excellent read for any woman thinking of science as a career

Science is no longer strictly a boy's club. "Women in Science: Then and Now" takes a look at the history of women in science, from when male scientists stated that a woman's inferior mind couldn't handle science, to today's fields where women are curing diseases and doing astrophysics work - in some cases better than any man can. Interviewing scientists of all shapes and sizes, author Vivian Gornick provides a motivating picture of how science can be and is a woman's game as well. "Women in Science" is an excellent read for any woman thinking of science as a career.
