摘要
Women are under represented in physics in government research, industry and academia. In most countries approximately 10% - 12% women are working as professionals in physics for the last 100 years. This situation has not changed much in recent years. A discussion in Physics Today [1] has questioned whey this is an issue at all any way. This paper will review the current status of women in physics, focusing on developing countries like Brazil and India. We discuss reasons why physics needs more women and propose some strategies to improve the current situation.
