Eight chapters provide insight and raise questions on topics such as curriculum integration, the consequences of ignoring gender and race in group work, the experiences of single-sex coeducational institutions for women and science, gender equity in the school-to-work movement, feminist critiques of science, applying feminist theories to women and science programs, evaluating female-friendly inventions, and threats to female-friendly science.
