History of Women in STEM

The history of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) shows a gradual journey of overcoming barriers to participation. Despite early contributions by women like Ada Lovelace and Marie Curie, societal biases limited opportunities for many women for centuries. Over time, increased advocacy, education, and awareness helped improve inclusion, though gender disparities persist. Today, efforts continue to support women in STEM fields, promoting equality and recognizing their vital roles in innovation and scientific progress.
