The future of women in geography and science builds on a rich history of female contributions often overlooked. Despite facing barriers like discrimination and limited opportunities, women have made significant strides in these fields. Today, increasing support for diversity, mentorship programs, and initiatives to promote women's participation are creating more equitable environments. As we look ahead, fostering inclusive practices and encouraging young girls to pursue STEM careers will enhance innovation and broaden perspectives in geography and science. By continuing to champion women's roles, we pave the way for a more balanced and informed future in these disciplines.
