Inferior (book)
''Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong and the New Research That's Rewriting the Story'' is a 2017 book by science journalist Angela Saini. The book discusses the effect of sexism on scientific research, and how that sexism influences social beliefs. The book was published by Beacon Press in the United States and Fourth Estate Books in the United Kingdom. Reception According to ''The Independent'' Angela Saini "paints a disturbing picture of just how deeply sexist notions have been woven into the fabric of scientific research". ''The Guardian'' noted that Saini "discovers that many of society’s traditional beliefs about women are built on shaky ground". The '' Ahmedabad Mirror'' pointed out that Saini "exposes Charles Darwin's prejudices and how his views on a woman's place in society tinted, or rather tainted, his theories." ''Inferior'' was launched in June 2017 at the Royal Academy of Engineering. A month after its release, ''Inferior'' was recommended by ''Scientif ...

Books About Women
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. The technical term for this physical arrangement is ''codex'' (plural, ''codices''). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page. As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained. Each part of Aristotle's '' Physics'' i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Women In Science And Technology
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Throug ...
