It's very worth celebrating to hear that women is finally getting more recognition on their knowledge and efforts within the math and science field. I would say that although it's worth celebrating, it's also a relief that women's efforts are finally being recognized whereas men got the opportunity to celebrate since the beginning. In other words, I think women finally being recognized is just a reply for all the advocating people have done all these years. It's important to not only focus on celebrating but also to realize that it took a long time for such progress. Therefore, I think it's very important for educators to start incorporating and to teach students that we should celebrate women since we are just as capable and worth recognizing.
Specifically, when we teach certain topics and we want to emphasize great contributors, we should include both men and women who have impacted on what we learn today. It depends on what the dynamic the classroom is in and who the students are but even within the classroom, all genders should be treated and celebrated equally. It'll be very helpful for students to emphasize that anyone, no matter what race or gender, can be successful and look up to whatever role model they choose to, and it's okay if they don't act or look like those role models.
