The following NASA women have volunteered to participate in the Women of NASA project. This is certainly not a complete list of NASA women, and any participation is on a voluntary basis. We thank them for sharing their time and wisdom with the many young people who participate in our project. Together we are making a difference in what young women see as their opportunities, career paths and dreams.

You will notice that the listing of women is categorized under areas of work or education. Many women are listed multiple times as their careers have progressed or span various areas.
