Silver Medal in the Social Change and Social Justice Category, 2024 Nautilus Book Awards
Winner, 2024 Choice Outstanding Academic Title
Women working in the sciences face obstacles at virtually every step along their career paths. From subtle slights to blatant biases, deep systemic problems block women from advancing or push them out of science and technology entirely.
Women in Science Now examines solutions to this persistent gender gap, offering new perspectives on how to make science more equitable and inclusive for all. This book shares stories and insights of women from a range of backgrounds working in various disciplines, illustrating the journeys that brought them to the sciences, the challenges they faced along the way, and the important contributions they have made to their fields. Lisa M. P. Munoz combines these narratives with a wealth of data to illuminate the size and scope of the challenges women scientists face, while highlighting research-based solutions to help overcome these obstacles. She presents groundbreaking studies in social psychology and organizational behavior that are informing novel approaches for combating historic and ongoing inequities.
Through a combined focus on personal experiences and social-science research, this timely book provides both a path toward greater gender equity and an inspiring vision of science and scientists.
"This first engaging and consequential book for science writer Munoz summarizes recent research and public conversations about the challenges women scientists still face. This book is essential reading for faculty, administrators, potential students, and the entire scientific community. The focus is on higher education, but the book also looks at multiple research studies and proven interventions in science programming for younger students." - Library Journal [starred review]
"Selected as one of Natalia I. Kucirkova's top 3 favorite reads of 2023." - Shepherd
"Of immense value to readers with an interest in workplace equality, discrimination, racism, the history/philosophy of science, and the education/professional certification and development of women in the sciences. Outstanding and strongly recommended." - Midwest Book Review
"In this practical analysis, complementing it with female scientists’ vivid career stories. 'No single intervention, policy, or law is enough,' [Munoz] rightly notes." - Nature
"Science writer and consultant Munoz presents a lucid compilation of evidence, including diverse first-person accounts, to illustrate women scientists within their communities. Each data-informed chapter concentrates on how to fix the system rather than “fixing” women. A dynamic, well-orchestrated blueprint for positive change. Highly recommended." - Choice Reviews, American Library Association (ALA)
"'Women in Science Now' manage to combine scientific literature, first-hand accounts and new food for thought in a great popular science book, making the topic accessible for the whole variety of interested readers. This book is important and I recommend it to everybody, as diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to a productive research and work environment." - Chromatographia
"Overall, Munoz’s book is an accessible, data driven resource on the experiences of contemporary women in science. The book combines personal stories, research studies, and popular-culture references to create a faceted picture of the topic. As a result, the book will be of interest to a wide variety of readers." - H-Sci-Med-Tech
