Historical Survey of African-American Women in Science  Not allowed to a formal education before the Civil War  Mary Jane Patterson 1862 first African-American woman to earn a bachelor of science degree  Rebecca Lee (Crumpler) is the first African-American woman to earn a formal medical degree  Between 1800 and early 1900s a small number of Black Females earned bachelor degrees  1920s few earned graduate degrees  1921 three Black Women earned Ph.D. degrees in economics, English & German (none in Science) Source: Sisters In Science by Diann Jordan

Historical Survey of African- American Women in Science  1922 Bessie Coleman is the first African-American aviator  1926 The National Technical Association is founded to advance careers and education for black engineers and scientists  1948 Marie Maynard Daly is the first African-American Woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry  Evelyn Boyd Granville & Marjorie Browne earn Ph.D.s in mathematics  1952 Yvonne Clark Young is the first black woman to earn a B.S. in mechanical engineering Source: Sisters In Science

Personal Experiences Discussion  Undergraduate period at Tuskegee Institute (Tuskegee University)  Undergraduate period at the University of California at Berkeley  Graduate school at MIT

Survey of 100 CEOs of Corporations by Bayer Corporation  Women make up 25% of science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) workforce  78% of executives are worried about the danger of U.S. losing its global predominance in science & technology  74% are not concerned about their company’s shortage of women and underrepresented groups in STEM positions in their organizations  57% are concerned about their company’s ability to attract and retain STEM talent

In Summary Current Environment  Both industrialized and developing countries have a shortfall in STEM talent  Education is one of the highest priorities in developing countries  A major global battleground has become the competition for STEM talent  Much work needs to be done
