Report:
In
an era when women are increasingly prominent in medicine, law and business, why
are there so few women scientists and engineers? A new research report by
AAUW presents compelling evidence that can help to explain this puzzle. Why
So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
presents in-depth yet accessible profiles of eight key research findings that
point to environmental and social barriers – including stereotypes, gender bias
and the climate of science and engineering departments in colleges and
universities – that continue to block women’s participation and progress in
science, technology, engineering, and math. The report also includes up to date
statistics on girls' and women's achievement and participation in these areas
and offers new ideas for what each of us can do to more fully open scientific
and engineering fields to girls and women.
