Book Synopsis

This book studies the prevalence of gender inequalities in the domains of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in India. It explores the paradox of an increasing number of women pursuing higher education in STEM fields while a relatively low percentage enter the job market. The book analyzes the factors that contribute to the loss of potential contributions from women in science. It underscores the need to understand the construction of masculinity and femininity, as well as male privilege and female disadvantage and how these concepts are associated with STEM.

Lucid, topical, and rich in empirical data, this book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of womenâs studies, gender studies, sociology of science, science and technology studies, political studies and public policy. It will also be useful to policymakers, organizations, and professionals working in the STEM fields.
