Magdolna Hargittai uses over fifteen years of in-depth conversation with female physicists, chemists, biomedical researchers, and other scientists to form cohesive ideas on the state of the modern female scientist. The compilation, based on sixty conversations, examines unique challenges that women with serious scientific aspirations face. In addition to addressing challenges and the unjustifiable underrepresentation of women at the higher levels of academia, Hargittai takes a balanced approach by discussing how some of the most successful of these women have managed to obtain professional success and personal happiness.Women Scientists portrays scientists from different backgrounds, different geographical regions-eighteen countries from four continents-and leaders from a variety of professional backgrounds, including eight Nobel laureate women. The book is divided into three sections: "Husband and Wife Teams," "Women at the Top," and "In High Positions." Hargittai uses her own experience to introduce her first section on the lives of prominent scientific couples and addresses the joys and disadvantages of husband and wife teams. The second section is a comprehensive exploration of the struggles and triumphs of "women at the top." Hargittai introduces women from countries where relatively little has been written about female scientists. The final section focuses on women scientists involved with science administration and leadership. Hargittai's biographical sketches role models for budding scientists. The book is a much needed account of female presence and influence in the sciences.

Beauty and hardships in women scientists' lives By Zsuzsa FERGE Magdolna Hargittai generously lets us to dip into a treasure-chest of women scientists from four continents who are at the pinnacle of their fields. They are Nobel laureates, members of national academies, professors, university presidents and represent astronomy, entomology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, biomedical sciences, among many other fields. The author leaves drawing the general conclusions to her sociologist daughter while she herself prefers narrating captivating stories. A leading American university cannot accommodate the researcher who comes to work half an hour late because she has to get her four children ready for school every morning. In a former Soviet republic in the Caucasian region, a woman professor at home prepares and serves a meal, but is not supposed to join the festive table where guests sit with the male members of her family. We have been aware of the fact that “working women” suffer prejudices and discrimination, contempt and overshadowing in every country of the world even if to varying degrees. There is a struggle everywhere in that they have to create a balance between work and family life, raising their children. We learn from Magdi Hargittai’s narratives and conversations that this is no different even one-step away from the Nobel Prize. Magdi’s partners in conversation are exceptional talents who are so much devoted to their professions that they brave all hurdles and barriers and achieve outstanding results. The miracle is that they achieve recognition and appreciation even if often belatedly and far from the full extent they deserve. All this is coming from an internationally renowned research professor chemist and member of science academies, rather than from a combative feminist. For a decade and a half she conducted these factual and always emphatic interviews to show the beauties and difficulties of the lives of “women scientists.”
