Latest Collector’s Edition on Women

Read the Latest Collector’s Edition

An Issue for Everyone   Dear Reader, Women have too long been an afterthought: denied equal opportunity at home and in society and ignored by science. Recent decades brought progress toward some measure of parity in the realms of economics, politics, education and health care, but yawning gaps remain, and some are growing, threatening to undermine everyone’s well-being. In our latest Collector’s Edition, Women, we explore research on the scientific and economic implications of gender-disparity. Dollars and science aside, there is a more basic reason to care about women: justice and equality for all. One particularly neglected area of research is women’s reproductive health. In the arena of human anatomy, the clitoris in particular has long been dismissed, demeaned and misunderstood. In honor of Women’s History Month and always, here is a view of the clitoris you’ve probably never seen.

I hope you enjoy the issue! Andrea Gawrylewski Senior Editor, Collections Scientific American
