…it is shameful that there are so few women in science… In China there are many, many women in physics. There is a misconception in America that women scientists are all dowdy spinsters. This is the fault of men. In Chinese society, a woman is valued for what she is, and men encourage her to accomplishments yet she remains eternally feminine.
- - Chien-Shiung Wu
As quoted in “Queen of Physics,” Newsweek, May 20, 1963.
