- Summary:
- This is the first scholarly and comprehensive look at women in what remains the most male dominated career: engineering. Through case studies of nine women engineers in nine countries, the book explores the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion of women in the field, from education to the labor market, as well as the role of the state in aiding or impeding the advancement of women engineers. Well illustrated with many photographs. c. Book News Inc.
