Blueprint for the Future: Framing the Issues of Women in Science in a Global Context

"Blueprint for the Future: Framing the Issues of Women in Science in a Global Context" ed. by Catherin Didion, Lisa M. Frehill, and Willie Pearson, Jr
Committee on Status and Participation of Women in STEM Disciplines and Careers; Policy and Global Affairs; National Research Council
NAS Press | 2012 | ISBN: 0309225191 9780309225199 | 127 pages | PDF | 6 MB

This book came from a group of scholars and professionals who have been working for several years on documenting, analyzing, and interpreting the status of women in selected technical fields around the world. Examination of the three disciplines-chemistry, computer science, and mathematics and statistics-can be considered a first foray into collecting and analyzing information that can be replicated in other fields.
