This provocative and essential collection, edited by Christina Hoff Sommers, tackles the fiercely debated gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math, bringing together distinguished scholars to challenge the prevailing narrative of bias and discrimination with rigorous research on biology, preference, and career choice, a must-read reassessment of gender inequality, women's studies, and the true roots of underrepresentation in the sciences.
In 2007, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) released Beyond Bias and Barriers: Fulfilling the Promise of Women in Academic Science and Engineering, an influential study suggesting that women face a hostile environment in the laboratory.
