Abstract:
I will talk about some of the prominent women Mathematicians and Physicists who pioneered women's participation from the early period. I will also like to comment on the situation today. Then I would like to draw lessons from the discussion to identify some of the best practices to retain/attract more women and/or to increase the efficiency of their participation in the subject of mathematics and physics.
