Women have always been effectively contributing in the field of science since earlier times. They are observed to be making great sacrifices for the accomplishment of scientific endeavors. They have faced hurdles in making themselves accepted in the field of science.

The enlightenment was an era of great knowledge, communication and growth.

"The Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries saw a large influx of women into the field of science. However, women were excluded from universities. Thus, to pursue their scientific interests, women were forced to obtain a largely informal education.
