Women in Aerospace
Women in Aerospace refers to the growing participation of women in the aerospace industry, which includes fields like aviation, space exploration, and engineering. Historically, this sector has been male-dominated, but initiatives and organizations have emerged to promote gender diversity and support women in pursuing careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
Notable figures, such as Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space, and Eileen Collins, the first female Space Shuttle commander, have paved the way for future generations. Various programs and scholarships aim to encourage young women to explore opportunities in aerospace, fostering a more inclusive environment in this vital industry.
