Now that my cultural research project is pretty much complete (except for more editing next week), I feel a lot more relaxed! Coming into this project, I underestimated how much time I would need for the research, and it seemed to sneak up on me as well. Altogether, one of my biggest struggles was finding adequate information for the technology section. Then, when I did find information, it was sometimes difficult to not only understand it, but put it into a cohesive report.
However, despite all of my struggles, I did enjoy the project. I was very uneducated on female scientists, and I have learned so much through this project. Not only did I learn about the culture and technology surrounding women during Maggie Aderin-Pocock’s upbringing, but I learned a lot about technology as well.
