论文摘要
19世纪，欧洲和美国妇女教育和就业的障碍使任何妇女都不太可能成为少数在高中和大学课程中教授的物理学家之一。本文探讨了三位有影响力的物理学家工作的社会环境 - 詹姆斯店员麦克斯韦，罗伯特·米利肯（Robert Millikan）和艾伯特·爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein） - 更好地了解女性可用的机会有限。通过承认并解释为什么这些创始物理学家中没有更多女性，教师可以帮助学生了解仍然存在的障碍，并感到更有能力克服她们并将物理作为职业。
Barriers to women's education and employment in Europe and the U.S. in the nineteenth century made it unlikely that any women would be among the few physicists whose ideas are taught in high school and college courses. This paper explores the social settings in which three influential physicists worked--James Clerk Maxwell, Robert Millikan, and Albert Einstein--to better understand the limited opportunities available to women. By acknowledging and explaining why there weren't more women among these founding physicists, instructors may help students understand the barriers that still exist and feel more empowered to overcome them and pursue physics as a career.
