It is almost universally accepted that scientific activities and discoveries are the most important sources of productivity growth and increased material welfare. Throughout history, women havebeen making significant contributions to scientific discoveries, innovation and inventions. However, they do not feature prominently in the inventive and innovative literatures except as exceptional examples. Current literature on scientific activities and discoveries, various facets of R&D or the management of technological change and scientific activities tends to ignore the gender dimension. Indeed, a review of the literature suggests that there is, in general, an implicit assumption that scientific activities and discoveries are largely the preserves of men perhaps reflecting the engineer-driven designs of manufacturing and male dominance of science/technology industries and occupations. Accordingly, to contribute to current research and debate, this book focuses on the challenges facing women who seek to create innovative entrepreneurial ventures, whilst also celebrating their scientific activities and contribution to technological advancement, society, and economic development as a whole. It aims to investigate and demonstrate the innovative and inventive achievements of womenin the knowledge based society.
