Women’s History Month 2023: IT And Tech
This list includes past and recent contributions to technology, whether by invention or business acumen.
While we celebrate these contributions in history, it’s important to remember Athat much more work remains to increase representation of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Women comprise 35 percent of the STEM workforce, according to the National Science Foundation, despite making up half of the United States’ population.
Women’s wages were also consistently lower than men’s – men in science and engineering made $100,000 compared to $76,000 for women. This is despite65 percent of women in STEM having at least a bachelor’s degree compared to 43 percent of men in STEM.
