Abstract
Technological change, research and development are the three major things that build or develop a nation or society. This study aims at revealing the roles of women as related to the above subject matter. They play a major role in the society by combining their career with their domestic chores as wives and mothers, thereby neglecting their contribution to the development of the society or nation. Globally, the population of women is larger than that of men, thus, its impact cannot be overemphasized. This paper looks into the gender gap, its constraints and how to overcome them. Also, the effective roles of women in societal development were outlined and solutions and suggestions on how they can be fully involved in the ongoing technological change and societal development were presented. Thus, enhancing women interest in science and engineering could improve innovation and problem solving skills.
