Letter: Letters: Selective quotes

Published 31 July 1993

From MAUREEN COOPER

I was saddened to observe that no women were quoted in the extract from
Clive Rassam’s book The Second Culture: British Science in Crisis – The
Scientists Speak Out (‘A tale of two cultures’, 26 June). If this is
representative of the whole book, I am even more dismayed – not because of
the bias it might imply that the author has shown, and I am sure he has been
impartial, but rather because it seems to reflect the pervading attitude to
women in science and indeed in society.
