Abstract
Gender inequality has been widespread in all societal and professional settings across the globe. Even though some growing participation has been witnessed in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields in the last few years, the percentage of women as researchers and professionals in science-related fields is significantly low. There may be several reasons for this, but what is more important is to address this problem right from early grades in the education system. The middle school years hold significant potential to motivate young girls to study science in higher education and pursue scientific careers. The life stories of 'women in science' in school textbooks could be a significant step in this direction. This paper discusses the life and achievements of the Indian woman in science.
