The Field Museum's Women in Science
You've probably heard it said before: Society encourages girls to be creative and boys to be scientific. But throughout history, women have made huge contributions to science, and young girls who love botany and biology will be sure to find this Field Museum exhibit inspiring.
The site features interviews with 13 women who work with the museum, involved in everything from anthropology to zoology. Read about their education, why they love science, and what obstacles their gender faces in a career of science.
Also, read up on past female pioneers at the museum, and try keeping your own explorer's journal. For more information, check out other resources, which are some Web sites dedicated to women with careers in science.
