摘要

To tell the truth, I'd never given much thought to prejudice against women in science until the past few years. I knew it existed, but I believed its icy claws had slithered off my skin without catching or tearing. And then I read a transcript of a speech given by a friend, a woman geneticist whose early days sound like a bad movie. The bare bones of her story are this. Born to a family that did not value women, she got pregnant and married a young enlisted man before she finished high school. She earned her degree by reading on her own. Desperate to learn more, she found someone to care for her baby while she started college. Her serviceman-husband was out of the country, but when he returned and found out what she had been doing, he beat her, took the meager savings she had set aside for the next semester's tuition, and left. She wangled a scholarship, fought her way on through college and then graduate school, supporting herself and her child and eventually building an internationally renowned career that anyone would be proud of. Oddly enough, my friend asserts she has never been subjected to discrimination; the suffocating limits her family and first husband tried to impose were pathologies of a personal, not professional, nature. Indeed, in her career she has had more experience of the other side of the coin; she has often been appointed to committees, boards and other prominent positions... because a woman was needed. Reverse discrimination has a price, too; being a token anything is exhausting. You must be twice as politically astute as anyone else and think three times before you say anything of substance, because your words will be resented and disregarded unless they are packaged correctly. But she is a tough woman, and a smart one, and she has succeeded.
