Abstract

Women represent only 28 % of researchers in the world, according to UN data. However, they account for the majority of students in a large part of the planet. They have made great contributions to science since the beginning of time, but have remained, for the most part, anonymous. Their social recognition has been limited. For example, less than 50 women have received a Nobel Prize, for more then eight hundred men.
