Marianne Gosztonyi Ainley was a historian of science. Originally trained as a chemist, she worked in industry in Canada, Hungary, and Sweden. Beginning in 1988, she developed and taught courses on women and science and women and the environment at Concordia University and at the University of Northern British Columbia. She also served as professor and chair of the Women's Studies Programme at UNBC from 1995 to 1998. Her publications include the books Despite the Odds and Restless Energy, numerous book chapters, and more than twenty refereed articles on women and science and the history of Canadian science. This book addresses the status of Canadian women in the sciences from a historical and contemporary perspective. Essays on women in medicine, sociology, pharmacy and the natural sciences provide insights about these pioneer women scientists. Contemporary concerns are examined, such as the career goals of female science students, gender separatism, and feminist research into genetic hazards in the workplace.
