Since the United Nations first recognised International Women’s Day in 1975, this day has stood as a global tribute to the achievements of women across all fields.
This year’s Google Doodle spotlights pioneering women in STEM—those who have uncovered ancient mysteries, revolutionized scientific research, and paved the way for future generations through their innovation and perseverance.
Despite these incredible achievements, women remain underrepresented in STEM, making up just 29% of the global STEM workforce. However, progress continues as more women break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and inspire the next generation to pursue careers in science and technology.
INDIAN WOMEN LEADING THE WAY IN STEM
India has been home to many women in STEM whose contributions have had a global impact:
- Kalpana Chawla: The first woman of Indian origin in space, she inspired millions with her journey as a NASA astronaut.
- Dr. Tessy Thomas: Known as the “Missile Woman of India,” she played a crucial role in the development of India’s Agni missile program.
- Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw: A pioneer in biotechnology, she founded Biocon and revolutionised affordable healthcare solutions.
- Dr. Gagandeep Kang: A leading virologist, she has been instrumental in vaccine development and public health research in India.
- Dr. Ritu Karidhal & Muthayya Vanitha: Key scientists behind India’s Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan missions, showcasing India’s excellence in space exploration.
International Women’s Day 2025 is a celebration of progress, resilience, and the limitless potential of women everywhere. As we honour these trailblazers, we look ahead to a future where gender equality in STEM—and beyond—is fully realised.
Happy International Women’s Day 2025.
