Women, Science, and Technology : A Reader in Feminist Science Studies (9780415960397)



Women, Science, and Technology is an ideal reader for courses in feminist science studies, science studies more generally, women's studies, and studies in gender and education. This second edition fully updates its predecessor, dropping ten readings and replacing them with new ones that:

extend content coverage into areas not originally included, such as reproductive, agricultural, medical and imaging technologies
reflect new feminist theory and research on biology, language, the global economy and the intersection of race and class with gender
provide current statistical information about the representation of women and people of colour in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
are more accessible for students.

Section introductions have also been fully updated to cover the latest controversies, such as Harvard president Lawrence Summers' widely debated discussion about women and science and the current debates surrounding reports on the low numbers of female engineers.

When it gained independence from Britain in 1960, hopes were high that, with mineral wealth and over 140 million people, the most educated workforce in Africa, Nigeria would become Africa s first superpower and a stabilizing democratic influence in the region. However, these lofty hopes were soon dashed and the country lumbered from crisis to crisis, with the democratic government eventually being overthrown in a violent military coup in January 1966.
