What is Who's afraid of Marie Curie? : the challenges facing women in science and technology about?

In 2005, Harvard president Larry Summers sparked outrage by suggesting that women's low representation in the sciences was due to innate gender differences. Summers resigned and the media frenzy moved on, but how much do we still really know about the state of women's experience-and abilities-in science? <p>Who's Afraid of Marie Curie? explores the opportunities and challenges facing women in science and technology, math and medicine, from grade school to grad school and beyond.

For teachers, parents, academics, and aspiring and experienced scientists alike, Who's Afraid of Marie Curie? is at once a call to action, a cautionary tale, and a message of hope, offering a crucial assessment of how far we've come, and how far we have to go.<br> </p> <p><b>About the Author:</b><br> Linley Erin Hall worked as a science writer for the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University</p>
