Our course and our daily life

 I want to comment on this post because a similar story happened to me. Today I was invited to lunch with some professors and we were discussing the revolutions which are taking place in the Arab world, and one of them mentioned the name Nawal Esaadawi as a feminine figure who was contributing in the Egyptian revolution. I already know the woman as a feminist but for my surprise today I knew that she is also a physician who graduated from a medical school and worked as a doctor for many years. But now she is giving much care to her humanistic writings using for sure her scientific background and advanced technologies.In this case I think the prepositions" In" and "and" are both applicable...I think that in the case of Essadawi ,and many other  scientist-humanistic women ,there is no contradiction between "women in technology "and" woman and technology".
