While in graduate school at Yale University in the early 1970s, when the women s liberation movement was all around us, I asked the professors in my department (History of Science and Medicine, since discontinued) at one of our Friday afternoon beer parties if there had ever been any women scientists. Certainly none had ever been mentioned in any of our courses. The answer was no, there had never been any. Not even Madame Curie who had won two Nobel Prizes No, she had been a mere drudge who stirred the pitchblende for her husband s experiments. Such was the state of knowledge (or ignorance or even prejudice) and authority then. Later, after I had completed my degree, I determined to see for myself if there had ever been any women scientists of any sort—and, as they say, the rest is history.1... 

MendeMeff had made many enemies by his espousal of liberal movements. In 1880, the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences refused, in spite of very strong recommendations, to elect him member of its chemical section. His liberal tendencies were an abomination.

Usually theoreticians and experimentalists are happiest when they agree with each other. This mean.s, to give an example, that when a new experimental number becomes available, all theoreticial groups immediately announce that the number can be calculated by the group s current theory - no matter what the number is, and no matter what the theory is. Effectively this, of course, forces our theoretical friends always to obtain the same final results, even if some of the intermediate steps may be different. Clearly this is not very satisfactory for them. Superheavy elements offer a solution to this problem <45 superheavy elements don t exist, the theoreticians may feel free to obtain whatever number they like. Together with modern cosmology it has become almost a Theoreticians Liberation Movement. ...

The women s liberation movement appears to be on the threshold of a second phase—when feminist consciousness reaches beyond white, middle-class women. ..
