Bogen viser, at børn fra enlige forældre klarer sig dårligere end børn med to forældre. Baseret på fire nationale undersøgelser og over et årtis forskning, dokumenterer den en stærk sammenhæng mellem familiestruktur og børns fremtidsmuligheder.

Hele abstrakt på originalsprog:
“Women in Science: Then and Now” explores the persistent challenges and evolving roles of women in scientific fields. Drawing from interviews and historical analysis, Gornick examines how systemic barriers—like discrimination, limited access to education, and societal expectations—have long hindered women’s contributions to science, from the 19th century to the present. Despite progress, such as increased participation since the feminist movements of the 1970s, women remain underrepresented in leadership and face subtle biases, balancing career and family pressures. The book contrasts past pioneers, who defied norms in isolation, with modern scientists navigating a still-uneven landscape. Gornick argues that while opportunities have grown, true equity requires dismantling entrenched cultural and institutional obstacles, offering a poignant reflection on resilience and the ongoing fight for recognition in science.
