I'll repeat it because it's a good place to start.The February, l995
issue of The Women's Review of Books has a pretty big section called
"Women's Stdies, Women Scientists." Heere are the titles of some of the
articles: Sue V. Rosser: "The theories behind the practice: when feminism
enters the science classroom. "Crucial Experiments": a report on a group
of innovative programs for women in science at Rutgeres University.
Bonnie Spanier, "Stereotypes under the microscope: the sexism of
molecular biology." "In the anti colony": a conv ersation wih behavioral
ecologist Deborah Gordon." "World in Collision": a conveersation with
Betsy McGregor, head of the Gender WorkingGroup of the U.N. Commission on
Science and Technology for Development. "A speck in the Ocean": an
interview with phytoplanktologist Penny Chisholm. "From POhysicist to
Physician": an interview with AIDS researcher Judy Lieberman. "Like
Mother Used to Make? The politics of milk" by Martha L. Crouch. "Net
Gains, Net losses: Women, the law and the Internet." Cheris Kramarae and
Jana Kramer. The last title is not directly relevant, but it's
extremely interesting, so I included it. I have a lot more any time
you're ready. Best regards. Ruby Rohrlich
