本文介绍了在物理学，天体物理学和天文学的彩色妇女的生活故事的主题。从我们的NSF赞助的项目，超越双重束缚：有色人种的妇女在干，我们分享了10个采访和41个现存的文本（约23名妇女在不同的生命阶段）的发现。我们的研究采用交叉性理论和叙事分析，对性别和种族的交叉如何影响物理科学领域的表现、身份、持久性以及整体职业和教育经历进行了批判性分析。我们的研究结果既支持了现有的关于STEM中有色人种女性的文献，也揭示了两个主要的、紧急的问题：行动主义的重要性和学校/工作与生活的平衡。这项研究将增加关于留住有色人种女性的策略的知识基础，有色人种被广泛认为是一个尚未开发的国内人才来源，可以满足国家的科学劳动力需求。
This paper presents themes on the life stories of women of color in physics, astrophysics and astronomy. Drawing from our NSF-sponsored project, Beyond the Double Bind: Women of Color in STEM, we share findings from 10 interviews and 41 extant texts (about 23 women in varied life stages). Employing intersectionality theory and narrative analysis, our study contributes a critical analysis of how the intersection of gender and race affects performance, identity, persistence and overall career and education experiences in the physical sciences. Our findings both support existing literature on women of color in STEM, as well as bring to light two major, emergent issues: the importance of activism, and school/work-life balance. This research will add to the knowledge base about strategies for retaining women of color—widely considered an untapped source of domestic talent that could fill the country’s scientific workforce needs.
