Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

A social and cultural history of physics, from ancient Greece to the present, demonstrating that from its inception, physics has been a male-dominated field and continues to be so today, and asking what the world would look like if men and women worked together in shaping the physics of the future. The author looks at the religious origins of physics as the source of its gender inequality, and argues that the continuing religious undercurrent in contemporary physics is behind women's underrepresentation in the field.
