Latinas in STEM still have a questionable status. Their successes and expertise are discounted at every point. It is assumed that they won’t be able to cut it. They are invisible in their workplaces and are isolated in all important matters and decisions. More often than not, they are alienated because of their race and color, because most of the time they are the only or one out of the two or three similar people in the room.
“Latinas are required to behave in a masculine way to be seen as competent but are expected to be feminine to be considered likable.”
