This trend, common to the 28 countries that make up the European Union, remains a source of concern.
 In order to achieve the full and equal access of women and girls to science and their participation in it , and to further gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

She was the first Serbian woman to be accepted at the university of Zürich in Switzerland in 1872. During the war between Serbia and the Ottoman Empire, she worked as a medical assistant in the army and received the grade of a Lieutenant. In 1879, she graduated and thereby became the first Serbian female doctor in medicine. She was permitted to practice in Serbia in 1881. In the history of Serbian medicine, Droga Ljočić has been remembered as a great benefactor and as a person who often treated children for free. She was also a leading figure within the newly founded Serbian women's rights movement.

Barbara Kipiani, who completed her honors in St. Nino, Tbilisi, went to Belgium with her father in 1901 to continue her studies. In 1902 he was enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine at Brussels University. As a talented student, he was allowed to take part in the International Congress of Physiology at Brussels. He was a scholarly secretary of the University of Brussels at the Revue Psychology of the University of Brussels. His interesting research was written in the European press. He was the owner of silver and gold medals. He studied lectures at Brussels, Paris and Geneva Universities. His initiative was founded in 1910 at the Brussels International Museum, the Georgian section of the history and ethnography of the world peoples. khatuna_khachapuridze https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/227907813

Таа е пионер во областа на радиоактивноста, а подоцна станува првиот двократен добитник на Нобеловата награда (единствена жена) и единствениот добитник на Нобеловата награда во две различни области на науката – физика и хемија. Таа, исто така, е првата жена што била поканета да предава на Универзитетот Сорбона во Париз. Родена е во Варшава, но во 1891, на возраст од 24 години, се преселува во Франција да студира природни науки во Париз. Таму ги добива сите свои универзитетски дипломи и ја развива својата научна кариера, со што станува натурализиран граѓанин на Франција. Основач е на институтите „Кири“ во Париз и во Варшава.Марија Кири без сомнеж е една од најинспиративните жени на светот, со самото тоа кој би можел да каже поинспиративни мисли од неа ?! ова се дел од изјавите на Марија Кири„Животот не е лесен за никого. Па што? Мораме да бидеме издржливи и пред се да имаме самодоверба. Мораме да веруваме дека сме надарени за нешто и да ја реализираме таа дарба.“„Не треба да се плашиме од ништо во светот, треба само да го разбереме. Сега е моментот да разбереме повеќе работи, за помалку да се плашиме.“„Биди помалку љубопитен за луѓето, а повеќе за идеите.“„Сфатив дека патот на успехот не е ни брз ни лесен.“„Во науката мораме да бидеме заинтересирани за работи, а не за личности.“„Постојат садистички настроени научници кои се обидуваат да пронајдат грешки, а не да ја откријат вистината.“„Честопати ме прашуваа, особено жените како успевам да ги поврзам семејството и работата . Епа никогаш не беше лесно.“„Јас сум една од оние кои размислуваат како Нобел. Сметам дека од новите научни откритија ќе произле добро, а не зло.“„Сметам дека во науката има огромна убавина. Еден научник во лабараторија не е само техничар, тој се претвара во дете сред природни феномени, кои го импресионираат како бајка.Немам друг фустан освен овој кој го носам. Ако бидете љубезни да ми дадете еден ве молам нека биде практичен и темен за да можам подоцна да го користам во лабараторија.“ (се однесува на нејзиниот невестински фустан)„Неможе да се надеваме на подобар свет ако секој поединечно не се подобрува. Секој од нас мора да работи на своето најголемо достигнување, а истовремено да придонесува за човештвото. Нашата основна должност е да им помогнеме на оние на кои сметаме дека сме им најкорисни.“ dance_mickova https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/227914036 2018-02-04 21:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/227914036 Ksenija Atanasijević, Serbija jelenamucic https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/227920021 Today in Serbia there are about 6,500 scientists. From the end of the 19th century until the Second World War, there were 139 graduated chemists in Serbia. Half of that number left the career for family reasons, although some of them, like Ksenija Atanasijević, persisted in their scientific career. Ksenija Atanasijević has published 400 works from various scientific fields, and some of them are "Bruno's Lesson Learning about the Smallest", "Yugoslav Thinkers", and two volumes of "Philosophical fragments", and our only scientist is quoted in the Encyclopedia Britannica. She also engaged in translation work, some of the most important philosophical works and papers in the field of psychology, with Greek and German.
None of the first Serbian scientists, despite valuable work and obvious scientific results, never received any state recognition. Ksenija Atanasijevic never became a professor, and her male colleagues even called her a plagiarist.
The scientists of our time, in comparison to the pioneering undertakings of their predecessors, have far greater support and opportunities, although today the situation is not shining.]]> 2018-02-04 22:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/227920021 Ferhat KÖKLÜ KONYA TURKEY ferhatkoklu42 https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/228230046 2018-02-05 17:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/228230046 Claudya Maria Neacsa - Romania talking about Ana Aslan - ROMANIA January 1897 – 20 May 1988 https://padlet.com/aidafizika/jl471wxm0yt9/wish/228285571 Romanian biologist and physician.

A total of 40 female mathematicians have been identified in a research by the Greek mathematician S. Spadanou from the 10th century B.C. until the 5th A.D. The most famous and for which data about her life have been recorded is Hypatia.

Hypatia (370-415 AD) was a great neoplatonic philosopher, mathematician and astronomer. Her father Theon was mathematician and astronomer who did not limit her appetite for learning. She studied in Athens and returned to Egypt. Among her students was persons of the most powerful families of Alexandria, where later they assumed extremely high positions. The philosopher was a victim of political antagonism. They kidnapped her and carried her to a church where they flayed her and when she died, she broke her body and threw a piece into the fire. The martyrdom of Hypatia in 415 AD was characterized as the end of classical antiquity. In 2009 was released a movie Agora based on the story of the Alexandrian philosopher.

 She  was an astrophysic and  during her career contributed in the fields of stellar spectroscopy, radio astronomy and stellar athmophere. She studied stars analyzing  to the radiation they emitted.

Margherita graduated in physics at the  university of Florence and became professor at the University of Trieste where she directed  the  Astronomical Observatory.  She was the first woman in Italy  to hold this prestigious position.

She was member of the  Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, of the  Unione Internazionale degli Astronomi and of the  Royal Astronomical Society. Margherita wrote many papers,  contributed to many international  magazines and in 1978 founded and directed “L’ Astronomia”.  She was often on TV to divulgate her discoveries and ideas to a larger audience.

Margherita was an atheist : to her God is the  Higgs’ boson. She took  part in many campaigns for civil rights.

She died in Trieste on 29 June 2014.

The asteroid 8558 Hack  discovered in 1995 was named after her.

I had the honour of  attending  Margherita’s lectures twice.  She was able to explain difficult concepts  in a charming way….even to me!

From biology to mathematics, from chemistry to social sciences, from physics to archaeology, from neurosciences to geography, from engineering to history, from space sciences to philosophy, women in science now put focus on 137 investigators. 137 success stories that have contributed much for the foundation of science in Portuguese society and that “Ciência Viva” hopes may come to inspire young people to follow their calling.
