What should have been a rewarding intellectual adventure turned out to be an unwanted baptism into the unbridled sexism and privilege of the scientific community.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe has devoted herself to the support of girls and women in scientific endeavors ever since. While women have come a long way in science, there is still far to go. They remain under-represented, under-paid, under-published, and under the shadows of male scientists who are assumed, without evidence, to have innate capacities that women lack. Duncan identifies systemic biases in the assessment of girls' abilities and the teaching of science in the home, the classroom, our communities, and professional life. She makes a powerful argument for cultural and institutional change to ensure girls and women their rightful place in the scientific community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of Melinda Gates's \u003ci\u003eThe Moment of Lift\u003ci\u003e, Caroline Criado Perez's \u003ci\u003eInvisible Women\u003ci\u003e, and Margot Lee Shetterly's \u003ci\u003eHidden Figures.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsty Duncan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 199082367X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781990823671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sutherland House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Kirsty Duncan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48807487340799,"sku":"9781990823671","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-exclusion-effect-kirsty-duncan-9781990823671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
