20 women working wonders in AI, Machine Learning, Data Science and Big Data

For a very long time, women working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math were unwelcome and underappreciated. Take for example the story of Katherine Johnson and her colleagues, who made remarkable contributions to the early years of NASA's space program. The world had not even heard of her name until two years ago, when the movie, Hidden Figures, hit the screens. Sadly, it is still a man's world in the STEM fields, and women struggle every day to find a strong foothold in it. The disparity between the number of men and women with successful careers in STEM is unfortunately large.
