Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would from then on become my reply to any and all attacks: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer: 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have let them see their physics professor heavily pregnant (怀孕) doing physics experiments. And in return they have given me the image (形象) of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
