摘要：

For the past 40 years, research studies have largely focused on sex equity issues. However, within the last few years, gender equity issues have become a hotly debated area of research. One may contend that sex is biologically determined maleness and femaleness; whereas, gender is influenced by cultural, social, and historical factors. Although, there has been much emphasis on the unfair treatment or exclusion of girls from science, the focus was mainly on White, middle class girls with little focus placed on Black girls. Thus, this has fueled the debate for the promotion of the "Black Girl Turn" in research on gender, race, and science education, as over the centuries Blacks and girls have been denied their turn in science due to cultural and historical-biological reasons. This literature review concludes with a call for more student-based inquiry approaches that can explore and seek to understand Black females' experiences in science. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
