Our Mission

The Women in Tech Museum is a digital exhibition dedicated to illuminating the extraordinary contributions of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics throughout history.

From Hypatia of ancient Alexandria to the AI researchers of today, the museum presents a curated collection of 211 pioneers across 10 fields whose ideas, discoveries, and inventions have shaped the technological world we inhabit.

This project is conceived as a living archive—a growing record of women whose work has advanced knowledge, transformed industries, and expanded the boundaries of possibility.

女性理工先驱博物馆是一个数字展览，致力于展现女性在科学、技术、工程与数学领域中的非凡贡献。

从古代亚历山大的希帕提娅（Hypatia）到当代 AI 研究者，本馆收录了10 个领域中的 211 位科技先驱。她们的思想、发现与发明共同塑造了今天的技术世界。

本项目被构想为一个不断生长的数字档案（Living Archive），持续记录那些推动知识进步、改变产业格局并拓展人类可能性的女性。

Why This Matters

Throughout history, the contributions of women in science and technology have often been overlooked, minimized, or attributed to male colleagues.

This phenomenon—known as the Matilda Effect, first described by historian of science Margaret Rossiter (1993)—has resulted in the systematic under-recognition of women scientists and innovators.

The Women in Tech Museum exists to help restore these stories to the historical record, offering visibility to voices and achievements that have too often remained unseen.

纵观历史，女性在科技领域的贡献常常被忽视、弱化，甚至被归功于男性同事。

这种现象被称为玛蒂尔达效应（Matilda Effect）——由科学史学家 Margaret Rossiter 于 1993 年提出——指的是女性科学家系统性地被低估与忽视。

女性理工先驱博物馆希望通过整理与呈现这些历史，让那些长期被忽略的贡献重新被看见。

Curatorial Note

This museum was initiated by Z-Heronix, a community dedicated to advancing women's participation and leadership in technology.

The collection will continue to expand as new figures, stories, and research are added. We envision this project as an open, evolving archive documenting the history—and future—of women in technology.
