Why is science still considered to be predominantly male profession?

She explores the lives of some of the most famous female scientists including Jane Goodall the eminent primatologist; Rosalind Franklin the chemist whose work anticipated the discovery of DN a's structure; Rosalyn Yalow the Nobel Prize - winning physicist; and of course Marie Curie the Nobel Prize - winning pioneer whose towering mythical status has both empowered and stigmatized future generations of women considering a life in science.
