Where Would We Be

The contributions of women are sometimes overlooked But where would we be without the contributions of Katherine Johnson In the 60's she did finely tune The mathematical calculations that sent men to the moon Marie Curie was excellent in physics and chemistry She discovered two new elements And won the Nobel price twice For her brilliance and sacrifice Elizabeth G. Anderson was the first female doctor in England A historic feat in any land She paved the way for the women that followed And was also England's first female mayor The molecular structure of DNA, RNA, and viruses was discovered by British chemist Rosalind Franklin She made great contributions in the science Her vital contributions can never be denied We honor all these women for the contributions they made And they deserve the highest accolades 3-29-2022 TRIBUTE TO WOMEN Poetry Contest Sponsor: Beata Agustin

Joseph what a wonderful, and informational, ode to STEM women - scientists in petticoats of great determination and courage. They truly had to be strong pilgrims as frontrunners in the areas of science and math! We are blessed to have their examples and their work. Congratulations on your win! All the best.

I'm sure there are many more, mostly unknown. A great tribute to women especially to those that know how to bring up their children in the proper way.

Thank you, Joseph, for your wonderful ode to women! Women are underpaid and, often, overlooked. Thank you for recognizing them. :)

Of course, many women made contributions and you named a few great ones! Loved “Hidden Figures.” My dad helped install those IBM computers back in the day.
