Women in STEM

science · history · equality · innovation

Breaking barriers. Women have always been curious about science, but for hundreds of years they weren't allowed to attend universities or join scientific groups where men worked and studied together.

Brilliant discoveries. Despite facing huge obstacles, women invented things like computer programming, discovered radioactivity, and made breakthroughs in medicine and biology that changed the world.

Growing participation. Today, more girls are studying STEM subjects than ever before, though some fields still have more men than women working in them.

Education matters. When girls get encouragement and good teachers in math and science classes, they're just as successful as boys in these subjects.

Role models inspire. Famous female scientists like Marie Curie and Katherine Johnson showed everyone that women could be brilliant mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.
