abstract = {This initiative of the Women in Science (WiS) Panel relates to
mentoring of young women who are potentially looking for careers in
science, engineering, medicine etc.

WiS has compiled a collection of essays on the lives of Indian women
scientists in the form a book titled ‘Lilavati’s Daughters: The Women
Scientists of India’. The book contains brief biographical and
autobiographical sketches of about one hundred women scientists from
India. Covering a range of disciplines, in these essays the women
scientists talk of what brought them to science, what kept their
interest alive, and what has helped them achieve some measure of
distinction in their careers.

The Panel of Women in Science hopes that this collection would
represent our cultural diversity as well as cover a large range of
disciplines so that any woman student could gain from the insights and
experiences of women to whom they can relate at many levels.

The book ‘Lilavati’s Daughters: The Women Scientists of India’ was
successfully released during the Inaugural session of the Annual meeting
of the Indian Academy of Sciences on 31st October, 2008, by Dr. D.
Balasubramanian, President of IAS, at the Indian Institute of
Technology, New Delhi.

Lilavati’s Daughters: The Women Scientists of India

Our inspiration for this drive was from the book “One Hundred Reasons
to be a Scientist”, a volume of essays put together by Prof. K R
Sreenivasan, Director of the International Center for Theoretical
Physics, Trieste.
