Famous Women in S.T.E.M

When I started looking for women in S.T.E.M, I did not realize how many women have made huge differences for all of us women who are pursing careers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Here are some quotes from the various women, I am planning to write about and find more inspiration from these outstanding women.

“I tried out various experiments described in treatises on physics and chemistry, and the results were sometimes unexpected. At times, I would be encouraged by a little unhoped-for success; at others, I would be in the deepest despair because of accidents and failures resulting from my inexperience.” -Marie Curie, Scientist

“I think of it as a good opportunity to let, in particular, school kids know that this job and other interesting jobs in science and engineering are open to anyone who works hard in school and gets a good education and studies math and science. And that it’s not just for a select group of people.” -Ellen Ochoa, Astronaut
