Via the Diggmonster, I came across this article entitled “Top 5 Myths About Girls, Math, and Science.” I’ve rewritten what I’ve wanted to say about this article about five times now. I guess the only reasonable thing I can say about it is to read it, think about it, and when you have the chance, encourage a girl you know (even older) to learn more about math and science. Also, if you know one of the “stereotypical” woman talked about in the article (maybe more dull, boring, only about the facts), give her a break. A lot of woman who were early to get into “men’s” fields had to give up part of themselves to compete.
Also, when I did a Google image search for “scientist”, there was only 3 images of woman in the first 5 pages. =/
