通常情况下，“女性”一词被认为包括有色人种女性，就像“非洲裔美国人”和“西班牙裔”被认为包括女性和男性一样。虽然有色人种和非西班牙裔白色妇女在科学劳动力中的代表性不足，但造成这种代表性不足的比率和因素因种族和民族而异。因此，按种族和族裔分列科学界妇女的数据对于捕捉这些差异至关重要。这种区别对于制定有效的政策、实践和计划以增加妇女对科学的参与至关重要。
Often the term “women” is assumed to include women of color in the same way as the terms “African American” and “Hispanic” are assumed to include both women and men. Although women of color and non-Hispanic white women are under represented in the science labor force, the rates of and factors contributing to this under representation differ by race and ethnicity. Consequently, disaggregating data on women in science by race and ethnicity is crucial to capture these differences. Such distinctions are critical to developing effective policy, practice, and programs to increase the participation of women in science.
