Invisible Women in Science

Sociologist, physicist, lawyer, chemist, surgeon, economist… This book features twelve interviews that prove there is no such thing as a “typical female scientist.” Each woman has a different specialisation, approach, and life path – but they are all united by strong motivation, curiosity, and a desire to change the world for the better. They research women's health, ageing, stress, poverty, and the environment. They develop new medicines and technologies, and reflect on justice, care, and the future of society. They often go against the system, forge their own paths, and bring new perspectives to a world that still places different demands on women than on their male colleagues. The book offers not only personal and candid interviews, but also data and interesting facts about women in science. Instead of a list of academic titles, it presents inspiring stories about courage, resilience, and the joy of discovery. And it shows that we need more heroines like them!
