Geek Feminism Blog points to a really interesting exercise that has “seventh-graders draw and describe their image of scientists before and after a visit to Fermilab.” Several of the students modified the gender of their illustrated scientists after a visit to the lab. Others, uh, didn’t. Here’s the blog’s breakdown of the gender results: “Among girls (14 in total), 36% portrayed a female scientist in the ‘before’ drawing, and 57% portrayed a female scientist in the ‘after’ drawing. Among boys (17 in total), 100% portrayed a male scientist in the ‘before’ drawing, and 100% portrayed a male scientist in the ‘after’ drawing.” More cute drawings of scientists at the link.
