Conclusion

Abstract

This book illustrates three different forms of liberation: the liberation from ignorance that flows from the advance of science; the liberation of developing countries as scientific knowledge is applied to their most pressing problems; and the liberation of individual women who, through scientific education and training, have found careers their mothers never knew existed. For them liberation has meant economic and intellectual independence and a style and quality of living unimaginable to any woman in any previous generation in their countries and cultures.
