Topic > The Emerging Role of Women in Technology - 1296

In families around the world, it is not uncommon to see a woman exclusively take on the role of homemaker. However, increasingly, the idea of ​​women working outside the home is becoming a reality. In particular, women are playing a vital role in emerging technological fields. Female workers' tasks are helping the advancement of technology, right along with those of their male colleagues, as women's once invisible intellectual capacity is finally being put to use. Throughout history, select women have emerged in technological fields. While these women were few and far between, they actually existed. One of the first pioneers in the field of technology was Ada Bryon, Lady Lovelace. During her lifetime, from 1815 to 1852, Ada became a famous mathematician and the writer of the first computer algorithm (Hooper sec 9). However, even after Ada, there were a limited number of women who pursued careers in any area of ​​technology. Shortly after the death of Ada Bryon, Lady Lovelace, Marie Curie was born in 1867. In an era when most scientists were men, Curie was an indomitable scientist. Specifically, she focused on cancer research during her chemistry work. As the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize, her legacy lives on today through a permanent memorial and living tribute established in 1948 in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, since that year the Marie Curie Memorial Foundation has continued to make contributions to the care of cancer patients and celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 1984. Emily Warren Roebling is concrete proof that women can work alongside men, even of their husbands, in the field of engineering.
