| Abstract | "This book offers fresh insight into women's mastery of technologies commonly associated with men and the important implications for institutional efforts to attract women and girls to technical courses and careers. The work is structured across five case studies demonstrating how women pushed through gender-based cultural obstacles to master technologies traditionally associated with men. Analysing what attracted each woman to technologies in fields of work with continued female underrepresentation will allows broader engagement with science, technology, engineering and math"-- Provided by publisher. |
