More #WomensOpportunities

@deive_i

Wow!!

"... NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGED FOOTE WAS THE FIRST TO MAKE THIS DISCOVERY FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, IN LARGE PART BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN. [my emphasis]

Entirely because she was a #woman, Foote was barred from reading the paper describing her findings at the 1856 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science..."

Seems to me it's about time to listen to #women. Finally.

#WomensOpportunities — need more. Now.

"Despite Hollmann's efforts Ball's achievements did not receive much recognition until historians highlighted her work in the 70s. Almost 90 years after her discovery, the U Hawaii finally recognized her work with a plaque on the school's lone chaulmoogra tree in 2000, & the Lieutenant Governor declared February 29 "Alice Ball Day," now celebrated every 4 years."

Seems about time to listen to women. 🤔 Actually, it's past time:

"Eunice Newton Foote, American scientist and suffragist, was born #OTD, 1819. In 1856 she suggested that greater amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere would increase Earth’s temperature. #CimateChange #WomenInSTEM https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2022/03/07/eunice-foote-climate-change-and-the-matilda-effect/"

Great #PublicPolicy: More #WomensOpportunities needed — all sectors, all countries — everywhere.

"The 2023 Michelin Guide awarded 334 stars to restaurants in Germany; only 11 of them have women as executive chefs. So it's all the more important that with "She Chef," a woman is finally portrayed working in the male-dominated field of high-level gastronomy." https://www.dw.com/en/the-bear-is-back-and-the-fascination-with-food-themed-stories-continues/a-66000109
Need more #WomensOpportunities — in all industries and disciplines — everywhere.

#GirlsOpportunities become #WomensOpportunities. More, not less, of both.

That's really cool! Here is a photo of a sun dog that I captured in New England (atop Mount Washington, New Hampshire).

All best—

PS—a hashtag that I like to add for posts such as yours: #WomensOpportunities

Annie Easley, born #OTD in 1933, began her career at the NACA as a “human computer,” performing complex calculations. When machines began to replace human computers, Easley adapted, becoming an expert computer programmer.

#OnThisDay, 19 Apr 1967, Katherine Switzer becomes the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon as a registered runner, despite the organiser trying to stop her.

She ran it again in 2017, 50 years later.
