Women in Science

The work of historians of science, data analysts, gender studies scholars, as well as sociologists of science informs the interdisciplinary field of women in science. Historians have elucidated the changing impact of gender and gender roles on women's lives as scientists at different historical times, different geographic locations, and in different scientific disciplines. Data gathered by national governments on the numbers and status of women in science provide a mechanism to document the numbers of women in different disciplines and the positions they hold. Relatively recently, the US National Science Foundation has recognized the role of intersectionality and its impact upon the percentages of degrees obtained by women in different STEM disciplines, the sector or institutional type of employment, unemployment rates and salaries, as well as women's daily experiences as scientists
