Questa indagine fenomenologica si propone di esplorare l’esperienza vissuta dalle donne nelle discipline STEM (scienza, tecnologia, ingegneria e matematica). Le donne - gruppo di minoranza all’interno di uno spazio tradizionalmente maschile - sono ancora sottorappresentate nelle alte sfere della scienza, sebbene siano presenti nelle STEM in numero sempre crescente. L’autrice attinge dalle proprie esperienze come una “indesiderabile statistica”, che si è iscritta all’università in una facoltà STEM, ma ha finito per ottenere una laurea in scienze sociali. L'autrice tenta di raggiungere alcune nuove intuizioni e di comprendere la problematica delle donne all'interno delle discipline STEM, attraverso due colloqui fenomenologici in profondità con una studentessa di ingegneria in una grande università pubblica nella regione Centro-Atlantica degli Stati Uniti.
