Women scientists in India face underrepresentation, gender prejudice, and cultural expectations, making it difficult for them to develop and be recognized. The authors, Ashima Dogra and Nandita Jayaraj, published "Lab Hopping" to highlight the stories of women scientists from different cities in India. The book, divided into four parts, discusses the gender bias in science, famous women scientists, and their roles in various institutions. It also features interviews with accomplished women scientists and those in their early stages, providing a fresh perspective on the obstacles and achievements of women in the field. The book is published by Penguin.
