🌟 Can you imagine having to use the back entrance of a university building, because the front entrance is not for you?

🌟 Can you imagine sitting in the auditorium with fellow students, knowing that you are not welcome?

🌟 Can you hold back your tears when your scientific curiosity is ridiculed?

🌟 Can you hear the stifled laughter of colleagues when you point out a wrong train of thought?

🌟 Can you picture the contempt of other researchers when you present your scientific data?

🌟 Can you stand up to the injustice to your scientific expertise for no other reason than that you are a woman?

Would you still want to study and become a scientist despite a hostile environment? 🌋

Remember the brave and bold girls and ladies of history who did it. ❤️

They did it for themselves, for their daughters and sons, and for generations to come. ❤️ The world would be a different place, without the courage of our scientific grandmothers! 🤗❤️

And yet, we still have a lot of work ahead of us! 💪
