Women and minority women in the United States are facing significant challenges in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM.
The representation of minority women is even lower, with Black women making up just 3% and Hispanic women making up just 4% of researchers, doctors and scientists.“I wasn’t expected to succeed in my career,” said Dr. Annette Khaled, Head of the Cancer Research Division at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine.
Even though studies show minority women in the STEM fields face significant barriers to success, including lack of representation, mentorship and pay disparities. They also suffer from more anxiety and self-doubt. But nationwide the battle continues as women in STEM face pay gaps, earning, on average, 80 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. For Black women and Hispanic women, the pay gap is even wider even though they have the same schooling and training.
