Women in Science

Book Overview

The number of women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) industry has grown considerably in recent decades, but for many years there were far fewer opportunities for women in the field, and the accomplishments of women in science were often underappreciated or even ignored. This volume looks at the many contributions women have made in various scientific fields both in the past and the present. These women have changed the course of various scientific fields--astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, medicine, and everything in between. Through the articles presented in this title, readers will gain a better understanding of the essential role women have played in science throughout history.
