For too long of a time woman have been shunned by man. "Anything a man can do, we can do just as well." I would say if not better but I rather not shun them back. The lack of woman in the fields such as mathematics, technology, and science are just one a the few ways men still believe they dominate. Woman like Marie Skłodowska-Curie give us hope and faith that we can succeed and outshine man just as they have done to us. Her success gives me hope as a environmental science major to keep pushing the limits and expanding borders to reach my goals. No man will shun me. I will succeed in my field of study.
