Sexism against women is still extant today, especially in science fields. As part of the Rocket Team of the Science Club for Girls, a program that promotes more girls in science, I am well aware of how women are still put aside in the science world below the surface of wide recognition.
The engineering laboratory that our rocket team uses does not have small-sized lab gloves, even though there are some, though relatively few, female engineers working in the corporation. Therefore our girls have to use the overly loose gloves, trying to tuck up the extra inches on the fingers for tighter grip on our model rockets. The seemingly smallness of the …show more content…
