👩🏽🔬 On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11), we revisit articles and editorials from CSP that help shed light on these inequalities and point the way toward transforming them. Promoting a more pluralistic, diverse, and inclusive science is an ongoing commitment.

From studies in the 1980s on the female workforce in the health sector to more recent debates on gender equity, race, and diversity in scientific publishing, these texts reveal significant progress.
