I would suggest _The Clewiston Test_, by Kate Wilhelm. The main character
is a woman scientist and the novel raises some still-timely feminist issues
(as well as a number of other ethical issues relating to science and the
corporate world). The novel is slightly over 200 pages (223 pages in my
Pocket Science Fiction edition) and goes pretty quickly.
