With lively anecdotes and vivid detail, The Madame Curie Complex reveals how women scientists have often asked different questions, used different methods, come up with different explanations for phenomena in the natural world, and how they have forever transformed a scientist's role. Exploring the lives of Jane Goodall, Rosalind Franklin, Rosalyn Yalow, Barbara McClintock, Rachel Carson, and the women of the Manhattan Project, Julie Des Jardins considers their personal and professional stories in relation to their male counterparts-Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi-to demonstrate how the gendered culture of science molds the methods, structure, and experience of the work.

The Madame Curie Complex moves beyond the most common explanations-limited access to professional training, lack of resources, exclusion from social networks of men-to give historical context and unexpected revelations about women's contributions to the sciences. 50 brief essays on women in specific scientific disciplines, exploring how each specific field dealt with gender issues 10 essays on sociocultural issues, including gender in popular science, girls in scientific education, balancing career and family) Chronologies of important historical developments, professional awards, and scientific 'firsts' Extensive bibliography of reference and other works cited in the entries as well as up-to-date bibliography of scholarly books, articles, and websites related to specific issues in women's science education and employment Indexes organized by subject, key word, and scientific discipline 500 alphabetically organized entries on American women scientists in the 20th century, including genetics pioneers Barbara McClintock and Rosalind Franklin, Scotchgard inventor Patsy Sherman, and developer of the word processor Evelyn Berezin.
