The Madame Curie Complex moves beyond the most common explanations-limited access to professional training, lack of resources, exclusion from social networks of men-to give historical context and unexpected revelations about women's contributions to the sciences.Įxploring the lives of Jane Goodall, Rosalind Franklin, Rosalyn Yalow, Barbara McClintock, Rachel Carson, and the women of the Manhattan Project, Julie Des Jardins considers their personal and professional stories in relation to their male counterparts-Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi-to demonstrate how the gendered culture of science molds the methods, structure, and experience of the work. ![]()
