Women and Science

Bibliography—there's a lot in here, but there's a lot that's not. If you have an article or book you want me to include, just send me an email. And please excuse the inconsistent formatting-I am working on cleaning it up. The books and the articles are on separate pages, since together the page was getting too large. I've categorized them in somewhat general categories as well as I could (though sometimes I just made a guess from the title). The whole bibliography is available in EndNote format (great program BTW!) by emailing me.
