Book excerpt: "There are still comparatively few women pursuing scientific careers, or more generally playing significant roles in scientific and technological culture, in an age when science and technology are essential to national development worldwide. This book is aimed at drawing educators' and teacher trainers' attention to elements of discrimination in the teaching of mathematics and sciences. It focuses particularly on the daily practice of teaching, where ambiguities and discrimination are rarely perceived and seldom analysed by those involved." "Originating in UNESCO's project entitled 'Women, Science and Technology', intended to promote women's participation in the sciences, the work in this volume has been compiled by an international team of researchers, education specialists and authors. The book is of immediate interest to education professionals, but is also important for researchers and all those concerned with equality in education. In raising questions about the nature of education, it also hopes to provide answers that will help to change perceptions and thus behaviour."--Jacket.
