@kalinowski007 Hmm, I wonder who you spoke with? I founded Femmes of STEM by myself and run it without any help at the moment, though I am looking for interns. This will def be a great topic to review w/them and future collaborators.
@kalinowski007 That being said, you make a great point that the root of the word may not immediately be obvious to those outside of queer culture - as such I'm going to dedicate space to explaining my use of the word and its importance. Thank you for reaching out to me!
@kalinowski007 Hi Caitlin, I actually chose to use the "femme" because of its connection to queer culture! As a queer woman of color, I want to use #FemmesofSTEM to broadcast the history of minority identities in STEM, and show we're not an anomoly, but have always been a part of these fields
The @FemmesofStem have created an amazing resource: a women in STEM history database!
π it contains 1100+ #womeninSTEM from around the world
π is free to access
π is the only place to find these data and stories in one place
Check. It. Out.π & Share!

"It's interesting how Trixie Worsley (1921-1972) is often identified as 'the first WOMAN in the world to earn a doctorate in computer science' as if the idea that she was the first person to do this had not even occurred writers." #womeninSTEM
British-born Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) was the first woman in the USA to receive a medical degree. Although a pioneering woman, Blackwell is not commemorated in the UK. What other pioneering women need to be remembered in our public spaces? Tell us with #RememberHer
