世纪初，托马斯·亨特·摩根（Thomas Hunt Morgan）的果蝇研究室催生了一个庞大的果蝇遗传学家网络，这个网络无疑受到了大量的学术关注。然而，大多数关于果蝇遗传学历史的记载都集中在“老板和男孩们”身上，而不是其他许多实验室群体，其中也包括大量女性。使用从果蝇信息服务目录从1934年至1970年提取的人口统计信息，我们提供了一个简介的果蝇遗传学在美国在20世纪世纪中期的几十年内的性别分工。我们的性别分工的分析支持实验室的做法，作为不同形式的工作重新考虑。
The vast network of Drosophila geneticists spawned by Thomas Hunt Morgan’s fly room in the early 20th century has justifiably received a significant amount of scholarly attention. However, most accounts of the history of Drosophila genetics focus heavily on the “boss and the boys,” rather than the many other laboratory groups which also included large numbers of women. Using demographic information extracted from the Drosophila Information Service directories from 1934 to 1970, we offer a profile of the gendered division of labor within Drosophila genetics in the United States during the middle decades of the 20th century. Our analysis of the gendered division of labor supports a reconsideration of laboratory practices as different forms of work.
