The presentation by Margaret W. Rossiter, of Cornell University, was titled 1970-2000 A Less Than Golden Age for Women in Chemistry The last 25 years have been a kind of golden age for women in science and engineering in the United States, compared with previous times. Laws were passed in 1972 that, pushed by well-publicized lawsuits, government investigations, voluntary pressure, and individual initiative, made substantial quantitative differences in the training and job opportunities... [Pg.1]

Virginia Valian It is an across-the-board phenomenon. I don t know data on advancement of women in chemistry, but the other data on that numbers sheet I handed out—for women in science and engineering—certainly do not show women doing well. [Pg.35]

Women in the chemical workforce was identified as a workshop topic by the CSR in response to broad concerns in the chemical sciences community about underutilization of women in chemistry and chemical engineering. To provide a forum for exploring these concerns, a workshop was planned for May 2000. [Pg.154]

Marcet s book, Conversations on Chemistry In Which the Elements of That Science are Familiarly Explained and Illustrated by Experiments, was first published in 1806. Designed with women readers in mind, it used conversations between a teacher and two female students to convey the information. The 18th and last edition was in 1853. See Rayner-Canham, M.

Ida Smedley25 was a key individual in the early advancement of women in chemistry. As we have seen above, she was one of the first women members of the Biochemical Society but of more importance, as we will see shortly, she was one of the two women (Martha Whiteley — see Chap. 3 — being the other) who fought for decades for the admission of women to the Chemical Society. [Pg.58]
