Even in the present day, while women are increasingly gaining prominence in previously very-male fields such as medicine and law, and even business, not the same could be said about science and technology.
According to the World Economic Forum, while women make up 50% of STEM (the collective field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), their numbers fall down the line. Women only hold 1 in 5 top jobs in the science and tech industry.
Rappler Hustle wants to make such women visible to inspire girls and young professionals in pursuing careers in fields mostly occupated by men. Specifically, the areas of physics, videogame development, finance, and the tech startup scene.
