In 1869, Sophia Jex-Blake, along with six other women, enrolled at the University of Edinburgh, an almost impossible task in and of itself. Over the next four years, the women would face institutional barriers, angry mobs, and ultimately be refused their degrees by the University in 1873. Three years later, women were eligible for licensure after the passing of the Medical Act of 1876.

In 1994, over a century later, a group of female faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began meeting to discuss their experiences. Over the next five years the women compiled evidence supporting their experiences and served the president of the University their findings, though a public admission of discrimination against women within the institution would not occur until 1999.

In 2025, women in STEM fields, are still facing barriers such as the gender pay gap, the "Matilda Effect" (when women's contributions are overlooked or attributed to men), and the expectation that women's carrers will be short lived in order to start a family.

Inspired by the circular and exploratory "feminine storytelling model", this piece will explore the constant battle for women's access through the lens of two women who led unplanned crusades.

How many numbers of women will it take for the world to listen and make change?
