Nowadays, there are many more women in prominent positions within the fields of medicine, law and business than ever before, but the fields of science and engineering seem to be taking a long time to catch up. There are thought to be several different factors affecting this, some of which include gender biases, and environmental and social barriers. However, equal opportunities in all fields of work should be encouraged, and it may be that some institutions need to do more to encourage female students to consider science and engineering as a career, since there is absolutely no reason why women cannot excel in either field.
