Women in Science: Then and Now [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B08ZNQWGP8 | 2021 | 6 hours and 10 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 169 MB
Author: Vivian Gornick
Narrator: Madelyn Buzzard

In this revised 25th-anniversary edition, acclaimed writer and journalist Vivian Gornick interviews famous and lesser-known scientists, compares their experiences then and now, and shows that, although not much has changed in the world of science, what is different is women's expectations that they can and will succeed.

Everything from the disparaging comments by Harvard's then-president to government reports and media coverage has focused on the ways in which women supposedly can't do science. Gornick's original interviews show how deep and severe discrimination against women was back then in all scientific fields. Her new interviews, with some of the same women she spoke to 25 years ago, provide a fresh description of the hard times and great successes these women have experienced.
