Women Have A Part To Play In Modern Science

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

'Women Have Part To Play In Modern Science' - this was the headline of a feature in an Electronics Weekly edition published 50 years ago in 1960, the year EW was founded.

 

The story continues:

 

'While in the USSR women are to be found in most electronic laboratories, in this country the idea has not yet met with much enthusiasm.'

 

'There are certainly no rules against the employment of women scientists  - indeed there are a number of eminent women physicists working in the industry - but it is tacitly felt that women's place is mainly in the home or in the arts,' says the story.
