Women have always played a critical role in NASA’s history. From the first black female engineer to the first female astronaut—many of their female pioneers have been the “first” to achieve something monumental in their fields. Today, the Women of NASA continue to lead and inspire in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and truly make an impact on society. As NASA looks ahead they know it will take a diverse workforce to achieve their ambitious goals—like putting the first woman and first person of color on the Moon. NASA is committed to recruiting and retaining women in STEM to help the agency continue to push boundaries to achieve the impossible.
