Why aren't more theories named after women?: Teaching women's history in physics
英文摘要:
Barriers to women's education and employment in Europe and the U.S. in the nineteenth century made it unlikely that any women would be among the few physicists whose ideas are taught in high school and college courses. This paper explores the social settings in which three influential physicists worked--James Clerk Maxwell, Robert Millikan, and Albert Einstein--to better understand the limited opportunities available to women. By acknowledging and explaining why there weren't more women among these founding physicists, instructors may help students understand the barriers that still exist and feel more empowered to overcome them and pursue physics as a career.
