Abstract
The article discusses the tendency for women to dominate degree programs in the U.S. for forensic science, despite women being underrepresented in other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Topics include the appeal of the teamwork involved with forensic science to women, the positive portrayal of women as forensic scientists in television programs and motion pictures, and gender imbalance in the workplace despite women dominating studies in the field.
