This book begins with an examination of the numbers of women in physics in English-speaking countries, moving on to examine factors that affect girls and their decision to continue in science, right through to education and on into the problems that women in physics careers face. Looking at all of these topics with one eye on the progress that the field has made in the past few years, and another on those things that we have yet to address, the book surveys the most current research as it tries to identify strategies and topics that have significant impact on issues that women have in the field.

Laura McCullough is a Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, USA. She has a BA in physics from Hamline University, and an MS in physics from the University of Minnesota. Her PhD from the University of Minnesota is in Science Education with a focus on Physics Education Research.
