I am a math and physics senior at the university. My main interest in women's studies comes from my questions over female's place in the science community. After attending one of the largest physics conferences for graduate students, I realized how few women are a part of the community. Not only this, but there was a lack in the spectrum of personalities found in the small group of women that were there. While physics is a field where most individuals are not often ostentatious in their clothing, presentation, or grooming, the few women at the conference appeared as if they were "playing down" their gender and or sex by their appearence. I have no problem with the way any female or male chooses to dress at a conference like this, but my experience with this community has shown me that the majority of the women in the science community feel more comfortable playing down their gender. I feel as if it is still obvious that we have only recently made the transition from women scientists publishing under their husband's name to well known women scientists. I want to understand the lacking number of women in physics. I would say as of now, 5-10% of professional physicists are female. I also want to understand why there are not very many females dressing, acting, wearing make up, etc. like females in other areas of study. By no means do I believe that there should be any required distinctions between the two sexes in this area, I am more concerned with the lack in feminine personalities. I want to learn how to be responsible with my colleges in areas such as what is appropriate for me to wear, how should a woman physisict act in public and around their lab-mates. And most importantly, I want to learn how to reach out to young women and let them and their male classmates know that it is normal for women to be interested in mathematics and sciences.
