Summary:
"Why have Canadian
women
scientists been written out of the historical record? Who were they? What did they accomplish? What were their life paths? These are some of the questions answered in this authoritative work. Over decades of research, Marianne Ainley identified, tracked down, and interviewed surviving scientists. Creating Complicated Lives weaves the lives and work of these pioneers with the author's own experiences as an immigrant scientific technician and later a feminist historian. Ainley argues that we must look at the lives of
women
scientists through a new historical lens that takes into account both the advances of
science
and concurrent debates about the advancement of
women
. Rather than having linear career trajectories, many
women
shifted fields, coped with discrimination, and endeavoured to find niches in which they could make significant contributions. Never before has there been a survey of the lives and work of early Canadian
women
scientists. This nuanced study brings their stories to light, comparing, contrasting, and interpreting their very complicated lives."--Provided by publisher.
