I am sure everyone reading this book would have thought that by 2013 university departments would not still be discriminating against women, but it was clear from reading the emails that there are still plenty of men in positions of power who do not think women belong in STEM fields. They probably do not realize the extent of their discriminatory ideas and would be surprised by my making that statement, but their actions to suppress the work of women, detailed in the letters I read, revealed the discrimination clearly.
