Pink October and Women in Technology
The world is the place of many trends. There is evidence that the first civilized city appeared 10,000 years ago. It’s not really surprising, we live on a planet that’s 4.5 billion old and considering that, human civilization is new.
Women have been building their history of participation in the construction of society since the beginning of human civilization, but this path has been far from easy and even today it is a great struggle.
The imbalance of rights in professional environments is common, due to sexist motivations. There is data that points to differences in salaries in the same profession, indicating that men are paid better than women.
The good news is that this is changing fast! Ladies are now certified professionals and leaders, actively participating in the world economy, in many cases becoming the “head of the family” and main provider.
Yes, women are increasingly occupying positions once occupied only by men, with authority!
In Technology they make up 25% and are gaining ground! Meet 4 important women from the Technological World.
