Celebrating Women’s History Month: Honoring Trailblazing Women in Science, Engineering, and Trades
At Konstellation, we believe in the power of women breaking barriers and excelling in industries that have historically been dominated by men. March is Women’s History Month, and it’s the perfect time to shine a light on the incredible women who have made significant contributions to science, engineering, technology, and trades. These women have paved the way for future generations of tradeswomen and professionals in every field, demonstrating resilience, dedication, and vision.
Let’s take a look at a few trailblazing women who inspire us and continue to shape the world:
---
Marie Curie: A Pioneer in Physics and Chemistry
Marie Curie’s groundbreaking work in physics and chemistry forever changed our understanding of radioactivity. Not only did she discover the elements radium and polonium, but she also became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry). Curie’s pioneering research laid the foundation for the development of cancer treatments, including radiation therapy, and her legacy continues to inspire women in science and engineering today.
Her message to us: “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.” As tradeswomen, we can find strength in understanding the tools, technologies, and skills we use every day.

Ada Lovelace: The First Computer Programmer
Before the world had computers, Ada Lovelace envisioned a machine that could go beyond simple calculations. Known as the first computer programmer, she wrote the first algorithm designed to be processed by a machine, laying the groundwork for what would become modern computing. As a woman in the early 1800s, Ada’s achievements were remarkable, and her work continues to influence the tech industry today.
Her message to us: “That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal; as time will show.” Ada’s forward-thinking innovation reminds us to never underestimate the power of our creativity and intellect.

Sally Ride: Breaking Barriers in Aerospace
Sally Ride made history as the first American woman in space, breaking through the ultimate glass ceiling in aerospace engineering. She went on to lead several space missions and dedicated her post-NASA life to science education, particularly for young women. Ride’s work has inspired many girls to dream big and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), fields that were once largely inaccessible to women.
Her message to us: “I would like girls to know that you can do anything, and you can do it your own way.” Sally's trailblazing spirit speaks to the heart of every tradeswoman who is forging her own path in her craft.

Frances Arnold: A Green Chemistry Pioneer
Frances Arnold’s work in chemical engineering is a game-changer for sustainable energy and green chemistry. She won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her research on the directed evolution of enzymes, a process that mimics natural selection to create more sustainable solutions. Arnold's innovations are helping to reduce waste, energy use, and environmental impact, making her one of the most important figures in the push toward a cleaner, greener future.
Her message to us: “You have to be open to failure. You have to be persistent, but you also have to recognize that failure is part of the journey.” Arnold’s journey reminds us that setbacks can lead to breakthroughs, and persistence in any trade or industry will lead to success.

Ellen Ochoa: A Trailblazer in Aerospace Engineering
Ellen Ochoa was not only the first Hispanic woman to go to space, but she also became the first Hispanic director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Ochoa’s career is a testament to the importance of diversity in STEM fields, and she continues to inspire young women, particularly women of color, to pursue careers in aerospace and engineering.
Her message to us: “You really have to be willing to take some risks and face the fear of failure, but if you’re working on something that you’re passionate about, that makes it easier.” Ochoa’s words remind us that fear shouldn’t hold us back from striving for greatness.

Kimberly Bryant: Empowering the Next Generation of Tech Innovators
As the founder of Black Girls Code, Kimberly Bryant is dedicated to empowering young girls of color to enter the world of technology and coding. Her nonprofit has opened doors for many girls who have gone on to become leaders in the tech industry, breaking down barriers and changing the face of STEM. Through her work, Bryant is helping create more opportunities for women in the trades, ensuring that the next generation of innovators is diverse and inclusive.
Her message to us: “We have to give young girls of color the opportunity to see their own potential and help them see themselves in these roles.” Kimberly Bryant's mission is a powerful reminder of the importance of mentorship and empowerment in all industries.
