Women of Science

Women are vastly under-represented in the world of science today. However, it used to be much worse, many women had to fight against society to carry out their experiments and publish their work. In many cases men took credit for the work of women, or women are overlooked in favor of men. 

This gender inequality means that the contributions of many women have been overlooked by society. Many people don't know that a woman discovered the structure of DNA, revolutionized STEM cell research, identified a genetic marker for many types of inherited cancers,wrote the first computer program and developed principles that are used in WiFi.

Here, I'm going to tell their stories so they aren't forgotten by society.
