Inhalt: "Seit rund 20 Jahren sind Bemühungen zu verzeichnen, mehr Frauen für technische und naturwissenschaftliche Studiengänge zu gewinnen, bislang aber nicht von Erfolg gekrönt. Dies ist nicht zuletzt darauf zurückzuführen, so die Sicht der Autorinnen, dass Frauen mit naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Studienabschlüssen nach wie vor erhebliche Probleme bei ihrer Etablierung in den entsprechenden Berufsfeldern haben." (Autorenreferat)

Inhalt: "This article presents quantitative results of a study of 139 academic women in the chemical sciences who participated in a professional development program sponsored by the Committee on the Advancement of Women Chemists. The study investigated variables frequently examined in the vocational psychology of women: approaches to achievement, coping strategies, career advancement, the home-work interface, workplace climate, and mentoring. The article presents and discusses results in the context of unique issues faced by women in scientific careers." (author's abstract)

The research lab: a chilly place for graduate women

Inhalt: "Ph.D.'s in most graduate science programs require that graduate students spend large amounts of time conducting research in science laboratories. As a result, the environment in the research lab is key to the success or failure of graduate students, particularly women. This article is a case study of two graduate women in a chemistry department at a large research university. In-depth interviews, field notes from a support group for graduate women in science, and departmental records were used to examine the relationship between key factors of their work environment and the high attrition rate of graduate women in the department. Analyses of the data indicated that the social climate in the research lab, shaped by the attitudes and behaviors of the women's male colleagues and/ or research advisors, created a 'chilly place' for the female graduate students."
