Throughout the month of March, we celebrate Women’s History Month by lifting the voices and stories of women in the energy workforce and sharing snapshots of the women and gender nonbinary individuals who forged the path of breaking barriers, following their passions, and making a difference in their communities and families.  

Gender equity and equality in clean energy achieves better results, provides stronger solutions, and lifts up the economy for the entire globe. Research has proven that when women succeed, our country succeeds, and diverse teams produce stronger research, solutions, and innovation.

Currently women only make up an estimated 20 percent of the clean energy workforce, indicating that America must power into overdrive to boost women’s participation and tackle barriers to matching women’s participation rates in the workforce overall.  

All you need is a stamp and a printer to share some inspiration with girls and nonbinary individuals to see themselves in STEM careers (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Download and print our Women’s History Month 2022 Postcard Series.
