ABSTRACT

Scientifically Yours: Selected Indian Women Scientists1, edited by Gauhar Raza, R. Gopichandran, T.V. Venkateswaran, and Kinkini Dasgupta Misra. CSIR-NISCAIR and Vigyan Prasar, India, 2016, hardcover, 135 pages, ISBN: 9788174802842. This book is a collection of television interviews of selected women scientists of India, organized by CSIRNISCAIR and Vigyan Prasar. The interviews were featured on the Rajya Sabha Television and also on the Doordarshan Bharati programme “Scientifically Yours” for showcasing contribution of Indian women scientists in their respective fields. The book contains thirteen chapters, where each chapter includes an interview with a woman scientist. This book celebrates a few of the best Indian scientists with primary emphasis upon their achievements, their struggle as women in mostly men-dominated scientific circle, and most importantly how they faced different challenges and succeeded subsequently. Best described by Indira Nath in her interview, “the obstacles are there for you to step over, not for them to obstruct you”.
