The world we live in today is rich in innovation, knowledge, and invention. This era of alternate intelligence and technology is brought on by the advancements of the STEM fields throughout history. Men and women in history have gone above and beyond to improve the world we live in. However, women are often left out of this history. Credit is given solely to their male partners, they face persecution for working in STEM, or their achievements are just not addressed in history books. Bringing awareness to these brilliant women is an essential part to changing the sexism in the field. Augusta Ada King, born in 1815, was a mathematician who is credited for writing the first computer algorithm while working on an engine. Radia Perlman, born in 1951, is known as the mother of the internet. She developed a protocol called the Spanning Tree Protocol, which is a program that allows the internet to be what it is today. Susan Kare was a digital designer who has designed thousands of icons for software companies. Many of those icons are still used all over the internet today. Lisa Meitner worked with the physics of radioactivity and was a part of the team that discovered nuclear fission of uranium. Jocelyn Bell Burner discovered the first radio pulsars and was an amazing physicist. Rosalind Franklin worked with x-rays and DNA and discovered the double helix structure of DNA. The work by Burner and Franklin both won nobel prizes. Sadly, the nobel prize was not awarded to these women, but to their male counterparts. These women, and many others, deserve recognition for the things they have done.
