Although there have been relatively few females in science and mathematics historically, modern women are increasingly pursuing careers in science. The number of females earning advanced degrees in science and math has significantly increased since 1980, and if male interest in science and enginnering degrees continute to lag, women are poised to overtake men in earning [[Stem|STEM]] degrees.<ref>http://sites.nationalacademies.org/xpedio/groups/pgasite/documents/webpage/pga_049141.pdf</ref>
