2. Introduction
The sciences are defined by those who push past the
bounds of human knowledge and breakdown the thought
barriers of their time.
As far as the history is concerned the major contributions
to the scientific community has given by man.
Now a day many women are enjoying the privileges of
scientific community which is a pride for us.
3. The first Indian woman to receive her degree as a
medical doctor did so in 1885.
An early Indian woman doctorate in basic science
was Janaki Ammal (in 1931) and the first woman
to get her doctorate from an Indian university was
Ashima Chatterjee (in 1944).
Even among the Ph.D.’s in science, about 25-30%
are women.
4. Women In Science
The involvement of women in the field of medicine occurred in several
early civilizations.
Women contributed to the proto science of alchemy in the first or second
centuries AD.
During the middle ages, convents were an important place of education
for women, and some of this communities provided opportunities for
women to contribute to scholarly research.
While the eleventh century saw the emergence of the first universities,
women were, for the most part, excluded from university education.
The first known woman to earn a university chair in a scientific field of
studies, was eighteenth- century Italian scientist, Laura Bassi.
