I know of no serious inaccuracies in this account. The value of the book lies in its exploration of some of the history of the overlap between physics and religion as well as that of women in physics. It shows how early physics was intimately connected with the European religious establishment, and not a total break with it as we were led to believe. It highlights the competition between magic, science, and religion during the Renaissance and the shifting alliances and compromises that allowed Western civilization to develop. Another reason must be found.
Women are much more likely to be interested in practical things.
The only major factual gaffe that caught my attention was the claim that the physics community tried to sell cold fusion as a source of unlimited energy. Some investigation would have shown that the physics community overwhelmingly thought cold fusion was almost certainly wrong. Her suggestion that the religious connection is a primary cause of sexism is probably wrong, in my opinion. If this were true women would be more common in the more applied areas of physics, and I know of no evidence supporting this. Furthermore, the closely allied area of astronomy, often associated with religious concerns in the culture, has approximately twice the fraction of women physics has.
