When you think ‘scientist’ odds are, you think of a man. And that probably has a lot to do with the fact that women are still wildly underrepresented in the field. But it’s important to know and understand that women have been making waves in science for years and will continue to do so. Actually, they can tell you better than we can, so let’s look at some powerful quotes from some of the brightest minds in science. 

“Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.” – Rosalind Franklin

“Let us choose for ourselves our path in life, and let us try to strew that path with flowers.” –  Emilie du Chatelet

“It is shameful that there are so few women in science. There is a misconception in America that women scientists are all dowdy spinsters. This is the fault of men.” – Chien-Shiung Wu

“I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.” – Marie Curie

“We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” – Maria Mitchell
