There are two different stages. The first part of book talks more about early years and then we get into what happens at university. There's been plenty of evidence that if you have identical CVs submitted under male and female names, the females are less likely to get a job. And let's face it, the women are just as biased as the men in these sort of cultural ways.
In the latest episode of Nature hits the books, physicist Athene Donald joins us to discuss her book Not just for the boys, why we need more women in science.
We discuss how science has historically excluded women, the barriers to entry and retention that remain prevalent, and what could be done to improve the situation for female scientists today.
