Abstract

Statistics worldwide show that women remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related fields relative to the total population. In the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society (UFFC Society), members who identify as women remain below 10% of the total society members, suggesting that their underrepresentation persists in ferroelectrics research and development activities as well. Addressing this issue and shifting this gender imbalance will require multiple approaches and actions. The Guest Editors, as persistent volunteers and participants in UFFC Society administration and activities, proposed this Special Issue on the Contributions of Women in Ferroelectrics Research and Development as one of many initiatives to further promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in science, engineering, and the UFFC Society.
