Mom celebrating MoM :) On a serious note: indeed, a proud moment.
Quoting from the article:
- Look at our rocket scientists, said one tweet, when women working in call centres think that wearing jeans "makes them modern and scientific". Somebody wondered why "no matter how much women succeed/achieve, the focus ultimately is on what they are wearing?" That, another respondent tweeted, is "because we have newspapers telling us that smart career women don't wear saris only western business suits!".
- Some 20% of Isro's 14,246 employees are women and their numbers are growing.
I (English, from London) am currently teaching a group of mainly CS grads here in Mumbai (Malad, if anyone knows it). About 20% of the group are female, and they are very impressive. Based on my experience, the more women India can tempt into science and IT, the better!
