In early 1970's, a few scientists got together and started thinking if it was enough to work sincerely sitting in a laboratory, doing experiments, publishing work and living in an ivory tower. Or do they have some social responsibility to take science to the masses? Is it not their moral responsibility to use science and technology (S&T) for upliftment of the “not so privileged” class of society, particularly women? They came to the conclusion that unless they formed an association of like-minded women scientists, this was not possible.
