DBQ on Women in Science

From the 17th century to the 18th century, women appeared in the scientific community and I believed they were right. Others have announced their views that women should not practice science, and some believe that women should be able to practice science and practice . Many female scientists advocate and defend their position as knowledgeable scientists. Marie Meurdrac, a French scientist, clearly states in the preface of the publication that women and men do the same if they think in the same way. (Doc 2) Likewise, as Dorothea Erxleben understands and explains why men and women overlook to feel it is an insult, she is doing scientific research about her.

Today, many brave and talented women are at the forefront of science and technology. These pioneers stood on the shoulder of the giant: yesterday female scientists have overcome greater obstacles and changed the world. Let's celebrate five female scientists to celebrate the month of women's history. Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) supports myself and his family by teaching how to paint a daughter of a wealthy family in Germany. Her first book, the illustrations of two larva volumes, opposed the general view that insects naturally came out of the mud. A few years later, she sold 255 pictures, so she could take her daughter to Suriname, where they made a catalog of wildlife over two years - Charles Darwin gave ideas 150 years ago

In the master's course, women acquired degrees such as biology, psychology, social science etc in 2004. Women receive less than half of the MSc in Computer Science, Earth, Atmosphere, Marine Science, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics Science, Engineering. In addition to psychology and social science, in addition to social science such as psychology, anthropology, social science such as science and sociology, the doctoral course, in addition to psychology and social science women, in 2004 half of science and engineering degrees in all fields I received the following. The woman received 46.3% of the doctorate in bioscience. Unfortunately, the number of positions in the social sciences and life sciences has been increasing and decreasing, the Federal government funds are relatively tight and the competition is intensifying.

There is a shortage of women trying to acquire a degree in computer science. Currently, it accounts for only 18% of women who have a degree in computer science. Since 2004, computer science is the only science field that continues to show a decline in the number of girls registered. According to your request, the proportion of women engaged in scientific work is between 12% and 24%, which is expected to get worse. Computer science learning institutions need more female teachers. Since I can not find published data and articles on this topic, I did a drill down on myself by looking at the online teacher directory of the popular computer science course at major American universities. The number I found is even greater than the proportion of national female CS degrees. Since the number of female professors is very small, it is surprising that the computer science school feels difficult to recruit female students. These numbers are approximate.
