Women in science are feminine. These traits aren't mutually exclusive. We are drawn to the excitement of the quest for knowledge and to the beauty of the Universe and Life just as strongly as you are. We will pursue our scientific interests even if you slam the doors of academia in our faces, laugh at our qualifications, and dismiss our results until a man corroborates them. Finding historical resources for Level 2 took a little digging.
Science is painted as unequivocably male.
Perhaps there has always been a hidden feminine face, and these data points have been conveniently omitted. The real fear is not that male and female scientists are different, but that we are the same. Modern resources for Level 2 are relatively easy to find. Women scientists are starting to unite through the Internet. We join email lists and newsgroups that link women working in academia, industry, and government.
