Abstract:Â The paper looks at the discourse of women in science and zooms in on the figure of Janaki Ammal, juxtaposing the narrative strategies that are deployed by two writers to narrate her story. Anchoring the argument on the narration of this figure, the paper argues that the discourse of women in science should make a distinction between state and nation, which would also allow one to reconfigure the relation between science and politics. The last part reflects on the contemporary debates around March for science to locate the argument on the contemporary.
Keywords:Â Women in science, Narrative, Political, State, Nation, March for science.
