Hidden Figures in the 1920’s:
In the 1920’s women became more involved with science. Florence Rena Sabin was the first woman elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Women were being accepted into the science field and were able to work jobs that were originally dominated by men. Although women were still not being noticed in the science field, it opened doors for women to progressively get more known for their attributes to science. As of today, women are still trying to be “equal” to men in the field of science.
