Nowadays there are few females working in the STEM （STEM means science， technology， engineering and maths）， compared with males. According to a survey， despite making up half of the workforce， women only account for 14.4% of all people working in STEM.
Many different reasons are stated for why this may be the case： girls are less likely to study STEM subjects such as physics， chemistry， and maths at school， or continue them at university. Some researchers believe that girls receive
gender-based prejudice from childhood previously， leading them to mistakenly believe that boys are naturally better at STEM subjects for some inborn ability although there is no evidence that men are biologically better at certain subjects than women.
Another reason is that women still face some gendered norms in STEM， such as some social limitations that we place upon girls in adolescence and even they carry throughout their adult lives： aim high， but not too high; be successful， but never show off; avoid disagreement or handle challenging situations by trying to please people， rather than finding your own path. These ideas may prevent some women from achieving their full potential in STEM careers.
Above all， many girls themselves may continue to regard the industry with narrow stereotypes. “There has been the idea that a career in STEM means you’re either a white coat-wearing laboratory scientist， an engineer in overalls and a hard hat， or a slightly strange academic professor，” Ursula Heng of P
