Rewriting the Story of Girls’ Education in STEM: Past and Present

Is the story of American girls’ and women’s access to science and math education a direct path from exclusion to inclusion? What does equity for girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) look like, and how do we get there? Pairing a historian and educational researcher, this event takes a journey from the 1800s through the present, including surprising histories, continuing challenges, and current strategies.
