One woman makes it in STEM

Mildred Dresselhaus -"queen of carbon science".  While nearly 90+% of women outted from STEM fields, and an attempted beheading on me.  I am robbed of living a fulfilling life and my contribution to humanity because I am a woman, by males of the Tech industry who want me to know this is still a man's world.  I hope there is karma for you all.

She was born Mildred Spiewak on November 11, 1930 in Brooklyn.
Dresselhaus received her high school degree at Hunter College High School, undergraduate degree at Hunter College in New York, and carried out postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge on a Fulbright Fellowship and Harvard University. She received a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1958. She then spent two years at Cornell University as a postdoc before moving to Lincoln Lab as a staff member. She became a visiting professor of electrical engineering at MIT in 1967, became a tenured faculty member in 1968, and became a professor of physics in 1983. She was promoted to institute professor in 1985.^{[citation needed]}
Dresselhaus was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1990 in recognition of her work on electronic properties of materials as well as expanding the opportunities of women in science and engineering.^[3][4] and in 2005 she was awarded the 11th Annual Heinz Award in the category of Technology, the Economy and Employment.^[5] In 2008 she was awarded the Oersted Medal.
In 2000–2001, she was the director of the Office of Science at the U.S. Department of Energy. From 2003-2008, she was the chair of the governing board of the American Institute of Physics. She also has served as president of the American Physical Society, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and treasurer of the National Academy of Sciences. Dresselhaus has devoted a great deal of time to supporting efforts to promote increased participation of women in physics.
In a United States Department of Energy article of January 11, 2012, President Barack Obama announced that Mildred Dresselhaus is co-recipient of the Enrico Fermi Award, along with Burton Richter.^[6] On May 31, 2012, Dresselhaus was awarded the Kavli Prize^[1] "for her pioneering contributions to the study of phonons, electron-phonon interactions, and thermal transport in nanostructures."^[7]
In 2010, Dresselhaus won the ACS Award for Encouraging Women into Careers in the Chemical Sciences.
In 2014, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.^[8]
