Women Who Inspire Us
Celebrating the pioneers and leaders shaping the future of Science Technology Engineering Mathematics ( STEM ) .
Ada Lovelace
The First Computer Programmer
"That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal; as time will show." Her notes on the Analytical Engine recognized that computers could do more than just pure mathematical calculations.
Radia Perlman
Computer Scientist
Radia Perlman has played a major role in driving the growth and development of the internet. Her best-known contribution is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which transformed Ethernet from a technology limited to a few hundred nodes confined within a single building into a technology that can create large networks with hundreds of thousands of computers. She also made fundamental contributions to internet routing, making routing more resilient, scalable and easy to manage. The protocols she designed in the 1980s remain widely deployed today.
Katherine Johnson
NASA Mathematician
"We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology."
Marie Curie
Pioneer of radioactivity and first woman to win a Nobel Prize
She discovered the elements Polonium and Radium and conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity, winning two Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry.
