Hey scientists and feminists (or STEMinists, a term that comes from a blog I recently found about women in science)!

Just popping in again to provide you scholarly scholars with some awesome reading material for and about women in science!

In 2013, Eileen Pollack, who has since published the novel The Only Woman in the Room: Why Science is Still a Boys’ Club, wrote an article for the New York times titled Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?, where she explores the struggles that many young female scientists face when pursuing STEM degrees and careers. It it she interviews the astrophysics professor Meg Urry, who recounts her experiences with discrimination in college and beyond (see her own article – Diminished by Discrimination We Scarcely See).

Also, if you’re into the more philosophical side of this issue, a great resource is the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, which has TOMES worth of knowledge regarding feminist perspectives of many sciences:

I hope you find all this as exciting and educational as I did. Cheers!
