Women in science
Today, women are actively participating in science,
while the number of women among the world’s top
scientists is growing. In fact, the face of modern
science would be unrecognisable without the major
contributions made by women. This volume shows
that, despite the invisibility of women in the historical
narrative of mainstream science, science was not
always exclusively a man’s world.
