ABSTRACT

Violence manifests itself in a multitude of forms leaving survivors with psychological damage. Gwyneth Jones’s Life (2004) portrays myriad acts of violence against women in science with a specific critique of patriarchy that devalues women’s place in science as the “second sex.” The novel depicts “genderization of science,” questioning whether there are essential biological sexual differences through the psychology of a haunted woman bioscientist who discovers the Transferred Y chromosome that will change the future of gender with the death of male chromosome and birth of many diverse sexes. This article discusses how gender becomes a visible barrier to advancement in almost any field, but most importantly in the sciences due to gender stereotypes and gendered professional culture. This is achieved by exploring the threshold of madness the woman scientist is driven to as a response to the strain of ongoing patriarchal violence, in addition to the consequences of her psychological dilemma of balancing her multiple roles in professional career and personal life.

科学中对妇女的暴力行为:格温妮丝·琼斯一生中的性别与科学的未来

摘要

暴力以多种形式表现出来,使幸存者遭受心理损害。格温妮丝·琼斯的一生(2004年)用对父权制的特定批评刻画了对科学领域中针对妇女的无数暴力行为,这种批评贬低了妇女在科学界中的“第二性”。小说描述了“科学的性别化”,通过一名女性生物科学家的心理问题来质疑是否存在本质上的生物性别差异,这位女性生物科学家发现了转移的Y染色体,它将随着男性染色体的死亡和许多不同性别的出生而改变性别的未来。 。本文讨论了性别如何在几乎任何领域都成为进步的明显障碍,但最重要的是,由于性别刻板印象和性别专业文化,科学界也是如此。这是通过探索女科学家为应对持续不断的父权制暴力行为而受到疯狂对待的门槛而实现的,
