Abstract

This looks at why there are so few women scientists: it focuses on the experiences of women in PhD programs and as faculty members. Science is largely organized on the basis of a male role model and women feel excluded and undervalued. This is the conclusion of the survey conducted for this research. The gender dimensions of science must be deconstructed, and a science policy for women implemented in order to transcend the masculine and feminine scientific roles and practices.
