PYTHAGORAS' TROUSERS: GOD, PHYSICS, AND THE GENDER WARS
Wertheim, Margaret
1997 31290 ABOUT THE BOOK Pythagoras' Trousers: God, Physics, and the Gender Wars FROM THE PUBLISHER A spirited look at the relationship between physics and religion--and the implications for both sexes. Here is a fresh, astute social and cultural history of physics, from ancient Greece to our own time. From its inception, Margaret Wertheim shows, physics has been an overwhelmingly male-dominated activity; she argues that gender inequity in physics is a result of the religious origins of the enterprise. Pythagoras' Trousers is a highly original history of one of science's most powerful disciplines. It is also a passionate argument for the need to involve both women and men in the process of shaping the technologies from the next generation of physicists. 295 pages. Norton, W. W. & Company, Inc. 0-393-31724-2 / 9780393317244
