Women Succeeding in the Sciences
Ample evidence has been provided that women historically have suffered numerous social, political, and institutional barriers to their entrance and success in the sciences. The articles in this anthology refocus the discussion and reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the issues surrounding women in the sciences. While the barriers that women have faced as researchers, subjects of research, students of science, and theorists have been well documented, this anthology breaks new ground. It presents the ways women succeed in the sciences, overcome these historical barriers, and contribute to the social practice of science and the philosophy of science in both theory and practice.

Social Register Locater
"The locater lists in alphabetical order every name in all the Social registers and indicates the family's head under which it may be found and the city in which the name appears.
Perfect Parents
The best way to counteract the anxiety induced by reading too many baby-care books is to take a detached look at the staggering range of advice mothers have been given over the last two and a half centuries.Christina Hardyment provides a much-needed new perspective on the whole perplexing business, showing that not only has the advice given always been subject to the prevailing fashions and to the personal quirks of their authors, but also that the books have had a hand in provoking the anxieties theyset out to quell.It's all here: from James B. Watson's admonitions about physical contact ('Never hug and kiss them. Never let them sit in your lap. If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.') to Jean Liedloff's insistence that babies should be keptphysically attached to their mothers until they positively struggle to get away; the exhortations, the warnings, the assurances on everything from the breast to the potty.Perfect Parents is an absolutely superb slice of social history - extraordinary, riveting, hair-raising, funny, and - ultimately - wonderfully reassuring.

Our Children Too
Key thematic issues include: cultural deficit versus cultural difference; linkages between poverty, race, and empowerment; advocacy versus objectivity in scientific research; and how the cultural or racial identity of the researcher informs scientific knowledge. The collaborations of Caucus members and others in SRCD modified the lens through which children of racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds are portrayed in the scientific literature.--cf. back cover.
