The roles of science, technology and Mathematic (STM) in improving the quality of
life and the formation of modern society cannot the overemphasized. These three disciplines
cannot be independent of each other. In Nigeria and most developing countries of the world,
women are under-represented in Science, Technology and Mathematics (STM) mainly due to
gender stereotyping of STM as male domains. The paper examined the position of women in the
country and their efforts in production and reproduction, healthcare provision, energy
production/supply/consumption and conservation, agriculture and food processing and
industrialisation. Women do science in their everyday activity. it is imperative that women are
good source of science education and can be used as a resource person in teaching science
education for sustainable development.
