Case Study: Hertha Ayrton [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The physicist Hertha Ayrton was active a century ago, but the obstacles she faced still challenge modern women in science. By presenting her life in two different versions—first as a stereotyped heroine and then as a scientific outsider—this article highlights how strongly gender can affect the perceptions of ability and career success.
