Scientists and Saints

Women’s roles and rituals under the microscope

By Stephanie Bastek | September 1, 2017

 

This week is for the ladies: we’ll be talking about women’s roles in two pretty different fields—science and religion—and how women have worked their way in from the fringes of both. Angela Saini unravels the pervasive idea that science is free from bias, and talks about how prejudice against women comes out in studies as well as in the academy; Adrian Shirk spotlights the American women who have shaped modern religion, both inside and outside the lines.
