In her book, Why Science Is Still Boys Club, author Jane Doe explores the reasons why women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Doe argues that the lack of women in STEM is not due to a lack of ability, but rather to a lack of opportunity. She cites a number of factors that contribute to this lack of opportunity, including:

Stereotypes about women's abilities in STEM fields
A lack of female role models in STEM fields
Harassment and discrimination against women in STEM fields

Challenging stereotypes about women's abilities in STEM fields
Providing more support for women in STEM fields
Creating a more inclusive environment for women in STEM fields
