Science and technology are traditional roles for women. For over 4,000 years of written history women have participated in this great human adventure. Yet missing from our textbooks and data are the fundamental contributions of scientists, both male and female, but especially female. The stories of these women not only provide role models for future scientists, but they also strengthen and broaden our ability to deal with the present. The course will feature highlights of women throughout history who have been scientists. Dr. Howard will cover the exciting and enchanting history of women in science and technology, where we have been, where we are and where we are going.
