Women make up less than a quarter of STEM professionals in the United States, and numbers are even lower for women of color. However, a growing group of researchers is writing a new chapter for women scientists, exposing longstanding discrimination, and leading the way in making science more inclusive. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, scientific visionaries including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists provide new perspectives on making science more diverse, equitable, and open to all.
