We celebrate the remarkable contributions of that Maryland women have made in science, engineering, technology and mathematics. Many of the women have been unrecognized for years due to the top-secret nature of their careers!
The exhibit honorees include Mary Cleave, engineer and astronaut; Claire L. Parkinson, climatologist and coordinator of Women of NASA Goddard; Esther McCready, a nurse who led the challenge to successfully integrate Maryland’s nursing and other professional schools; and Andrea Evans, the founder of KidGINEER, a program for children.
The contributions of the Maryland women featured at the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center have impacted Maryland, as well as the nation and world.
