Conclusion

Abstract

Although we see a large representation of Chinese women in the U.S. science and engineering workforce, looking across the wide range of industry and academia positions, one common pattern stands out: Chinese women are never the key players. As Harding put it in her groundbreaking book, Whose Science? Whose Knowledge?: Thinking From Women’s Lives: “The issue is not that there are few women in science, for there are vast numbers of women with science degrees working in the scientific enterprise.The issue, instead, is why there are so few women directing the agendas of science.”
