A brief analysis of the situation of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics

Abstract:

Probably, the global discussion about the differences between men and women in all contexts is reaching its climax and maybe in a few years, we no longer have to discuss because it becomes a settled controversy, but that moment has not yet arrived. The aim of this paper is to present a brief discussion of actual data about women's presence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), an overview of the past and present is provided. Next to the present analysis, some reflections of other author and their own point of view will be presented to help the reader to acquire his own criteria about this subject.
