Women Doing Physics: Past, Present & Future

The “Women Doing Physics” display was created for the Centennial of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1999.  In an effort led by Beverly Berger, then Chair of the APS’s Committee on the Status of Women in Physics, a collection of photos, both historical and modern, was assembled depicting women physicists actively pursuing their craft.  The historical photos were selected from the collection of the American Institute of Physics’ Emilio Segrè Archives.  The modern photos were snapshots contributed by readers and friends of the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics.
