     I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people

asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very

good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is

the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.

     At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only

woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research,

the issue started to bother me. My every achievement-jobs, research papers, awards- was viewed through the

lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left

brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my

behalf and all womankind.

     Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply

to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I

had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another

terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.

     Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me

how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to

answer; 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for

children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them"war" stories. Instead, I have given them

this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have

given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.
