520    Publisher description: Are there any places where women 
       succeed in science? Numerous studies in recent years have 
       documented and lamented a gender gap in science and 
       engineering. From elementary school through college, 
       women's interest in science steadily declines, and as 
       adults, they are less likely to pursue careers in science-
       related fields. Women's Science offers a dramatic 
       counterpoint not only to these findings but also to the 
       related, narrow assumption that "real science" only occurs
       in research and laboratory investigation. This book 
       describes women engaged with science or engineering at the
       margins: an innovative high school genetics class a school
       -to-work internship for prospective engineers, an 
       environmental action group, and a nonprofit conservation 
       agency. In these places--where people use or rely on 
       science for public, social, or community purposes--the 
       authors found a remarkably high proportion of women. 
       Moreover, these women were successful at learning and 
       using technical knowledge, they advanced in roughly equal 
       percentages to men, and they generally enjoyed their work.
       Yet, even in these more marginal workplaces, women had to 
       pay a price. Working outside traditional laboratories, 
       they enjoy little public prestige and receive 
       significantly less financial compensation. Although most 
       employers claimed to treat men and women equally, women in
       fact only achieved success when they acted like male 
       professionals. Women's Science is an original and 
       provocative contribution that expands our conception of 
       scientific practice as it reconfigures both women's role 
       in science and the meaning of science in contemporary 
       society.
