This article discusses how Women have slowly started to become more active in science and technology. However, according to the author there is still room for more and he feels women can make their own unique impact.

I agree with the author that there is plenty of potential in women to create their own unique impact on the science and technology field. One problem that must be solved first before this happens is the problem of education and expectation from a young age. A quote that struck me from this article says, "Most females my age or older didn’t get that kind of experience to fuel their love of science and math,” she says. Instead, girls were often directed toward a class called “home economics,” which taught skills like cooking and sewing. This is a common thing in todays society, to predetermine what will happen to your child.
