Abstract

Studies of successful strategies among minority women scientists show that they build webs of relationships to support each other. The guanxi ties are one example of these, one based on Chinese ethnicity, but there are others, called meshworks, that informally tie together women in different fields and women from different parts of the world. Successful programs for supporting women scientists show that these networks focus on integrating these women into everyday, ongoing practices.
