This is the second edition of a volume that brings together research on a wide variety of topics relating to gender and physics, cataloguing the extant literature to provide a readable and concise grounding for the reader. While there are many biographies and collections of essays in the area of women and physics, no other book is as research focused. Starting with the current numbers of women in physics in English-speaking countries, it explores the different issues relating to gender and physics at different educational levels and career stages. From the effects of family and schooling to the barriers faced in the workplace and at home, this volume is an exhaustive overview of the many studies focused specifically on women and physics. This edition contains updated references and new chapters covering the underlying structures of the research and more detailed breakdowns of career issues. General audience interested in women and science issues. Also available in print. Mode of access: World Wide Web. System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.
