Many of these areas include politics, business, military, medical, space program, college professors, and a host of other areas that were once thought conquerable only by men.

The Makers web site has not only has a vast array of women's accomplishments, but also projections for new gains and research in a variety of fields for developments in all fields of study to include all forms of science and exploration.
