Women Transforming the World Wednesday, November 8th from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Women have been transforming our world through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for centuries - yet they have historically been left out of the conversation and even discouraged from participating in these fields.

This program traces the roots of these issues and demonstrates the myriad ways Connecticut women in STEM have transformed our world.
