  Mary Wollstonecraft - The...

  Mary Wollstonecraft was a pioneering British writer and philosopher whose ideas on women’s rights and education laid the foundation for modern feminism. Born on April 27, 1759, in Spitalfields, London, she grew up in a time when society severely restricted women's opportunities. Despite these limitations, Wollstonecraft’s determination, intellect, and relentless pursuit of knowledge allowed her to challenge the status quo and advocate for gender equality. Her life was shaped by personal struggles, societal constraints, and an unwavering belief in the power of education. 
  Wollstonecraft’s early years were marked by financial instability and familial hardships. Her father, Edward Wollstonecraft, mismanaged the family’s wealth, frequently moving the household in pursuit of failed business ventures. This instability forced Mary and her siblings into difficult circumstances, with her witnessing firsthand the consequences of economic insecurity. More troubling, her father was reportedly abusive, particularly towards her mother, which deeply affected Mary’s views on marriage and male authority. Unlike many girls of her time, who received little to no formal education, Mary sought knowledge independently. She read extensively, developed a strong moral compass, and displayed an early inclination toward questioning societal norms. 
  One of the most influential figures in her formative years was Fanny Blood, a close friend whose intellect and independence inspired Mary. Their friendship was instrumental in shaping Wollstonecraft’s aspirations and her desire for a life beyond the domestic sphere. In pursuit of financial independence, she worked as a governess and later as a teacher, experiences that would inform her views on education.

  Not Just for the Boys - Why We...

  Not Just For the Boys looks back at how society has historically excluded women from the scientific sphere and discourse, what progress has been made, and how more is still needed. Athene Donald, herself a distinguished physicist, explores societal expectations during both childhood and working life using evidence of the systemic disadvantages women operate under, from the developing science of how our brains are and more importantly aren't gendered, to social science evidence around attitudes towards girls and women doing science. 
   
  It also discusses how science is done in practice, in order to dispel common myths: for example, the perception that science is not creative, or that it is carried out by a lone genius in an ivory tower, myths that can be very off-putting to many sections of the population. A better appreciation of the collaborative, creative, and multi-disciplinary nature of science is likely to lead to its appeal to a far wider swathe of people, especially women. This book examines the modern way of working in scientific research, and how gender bias operates in various ways within it, drawing on the voices of leading women in science describing their feelings and experiences. It argues the moral and business case for greater diversity in modern research, the better to improve science and tackle the great challenges we face today.
