Women In Science Come Together For Support

There is a new group for women in science called AWISE. This group located in the UK brings women together to discuss, share information, and support each other in the field of science. Women often out number men in several fields in technology, yet they rarely find their way to the boardrooms. The glass ceiling is real for women who work in science. Another reason for lack of advancements is that women sacrifice their careers to care for the household.

Having women involved in politics was a long time forthcoming. Historically there were no women in politics, in fact they were not even allowed to vote. Over time women gained the same rights as men, and not only voted, but were elected and took part in political concerns. In Europe efforts are being make to make sure there is a balance of men and women in politics. Similar progress is being made in other parts of the world.
