Abstract
The results from interviews with Swedish women chemists and physicists concerning studies and work in academia are discussed in this article, with an emphasis on working life. We examine the take-up of postgraduate studies, deal with women's experiences of male power and dominance in academia and relate some positive experiences. We discuss the gendered culture of science and the connection between this culture and the organization of domestic work, and end with the question whether women can be disturbing elements and change the culture of science.
