From 1993 to 2010, women with a degree in S&E fields increased from only 31% to 37% and women with S&E occupations increased from 23% to 28% (National Science Foundation). However, while these numbers have increased greatly, increased,  women in higher academic, and particularly STEM research, in STEM,  are still the overwhelming majority minority  compared to men.
