Drawing upon the views of 47 (female and male) scientists, Bevan and Gatrell explore why women are less likely than men to become eminent in their profession. They observe three mechanisms which perpetuate women??s lowered ???place?? in science: subtle masculinities (whereby certain forms of masculinity are valued over womanhood); (m)otherhood (in which women??s potential for maternity positions them as ???other??), and the image of creative genius which is associated with male bodies, excluding women from research roles.
