Discover the book “Women in Science, Experiences of Academics in Switzerland” written by Annalisa de Cia, Sara Hellmüller and Elizabeth Mesok (eds.).
“Women in Science: Experiences of Academics in Switzerland tells the stories of twelve women, each of whom was awarded a PRIMA grant — their dreams and passions, their trials and tribulations, their goals and achievements, and the lessons they have learned throughout their careers. Featuring personal insights from women across Swiss universities and disciplines, this book offers a glimpse into the various and often nonlinear paths within academia. Women in Science highlights not onlythe rich diversity of the Swiss scientific community, but also common challenges, such as persistent structural inequalities, highly competitive— and at times, toxic — work environments, and the difficulties faced by women who bear the brunt of motherhood and care work while facing the demands of pursuing a highly competitive career path.“
