Yet, still, significantly fewer women than men hold prestigious jobs in science. Why should this occur? What prevents women from achieving as highly as men in science? And why are so few women positioned as creative genius research scientists?
Drawing upon the views of 47 (female and male) scientists, Bevan and Gatrell explore why women are less likely than men to become eminent in their profession. They observe three mechanisms which perpetuate women s lowered place in science: subtle masculinities (whereby certain forms of masculinity are valued over womanhood); (m)otherhood (in which womens potential for maternity positions them as other), and the image of creative genius which is associated with male bodies, excluding women from research roles.
