We recently celebrated Russian Science Day and three days later we are returning to this topic again, but with a different holiday – International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
The United Nations is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the day this year and the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration affirming the full realization of the human rights of women and girls as an integral, indivisible part of universal human rights and fundamental freedoms. The theme for this year’s day is “Opening Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM): Her Voice in Science.”
Women scientists have been known for quite a long time: the ancient Egyptian physician Peseshet, the ancient Greek female astronomer Aglaonica, Hypatia of Alexandria – a philosopher, mathematician and mechanic. During the Age of Enlightenment, the role of the fair half of humanity in science expanded significantly, but this was not considered the norm at all. In the 19th century, most of the most prominent female scientists were Russian women. The most famous of them was Sofia Kovalevskaya – the world’s first female doctor of mathematical sciences and university professor. But let’s also remember Nadezhda Suslova – the first in the world to receive a doctorate in medicine, Yulia Lermontova – the first doctor of chemistry, Maria Sechenova with two doctorates, in medicine and physiology. Of course, everyone knows the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize – Maria Sklodowska-Curie. Moreover, she also became the first person in the world to receive two Nobel Prizes. After her, only four scientists managed to do the same. Incidentally, Marie’s daughter, Irene Joliot-Curie, became the first Nobel Prize laureate, being the child of previous laureates.
The last century has finally equalized the rights of men and women. Nevertheless, according to the UN, only 30% of scientists worldwide are women. Girls still make up only 28% of engineering graduates. But in the field of computer science and information technology, their number is already 40%. Therefore, it is quite possible that the day is not far off when absolute gender balance will be achieved in science.
The State University of Management congratulates its wonderful women and girls-scientists on the holiday. We wish you rapid advancement in the research areas you have chosen, victories in scientific competitions, capitalization of your intellect, as well as professional and personal happiness. Let each of you always remember that for someone you are a real sun – a vital necessity, and all together you are a whole constellation for the State University of Management – bright, attractive and mysterious.
