Women have always been at the forefront of science and technology. Their contributions have been remarkable, but largely ignored and under-appreciated. The story of women scientists in India has been one of struggle: a struggle against social structures, against education itself, and discrimination in the home and workplace that stopped many women scientists from achieving their potential. Yet there have been some remarkable contributions by women scientists who saw it as an opportunity to do what was not possible for most men (in fact their upbringing also limited all women).
The Women Scientists in India: Lives, Struggles, and Achievements book written by author Dr. Anjana Chattopadhyay and published by NATIONAL BOOK TRUST, INDIA is an exhaustive volume for readers who are willing to read about the lives of women scientists in India. This book talks about their struggles, successes, achievements, and contributions in the field of science as well as provides insight into current happenings among women scientists in India. Moreover, the book aims to shed light on how they entered the area of scientific study, or more specifically, how their mothers, aunts, and sisters pushed them to pursue professions in the sciences despite the many challenges they faced.
