30 years: A Brief Historical Perspective of Women in NDT

Marybeth Miceli's journey, beginning in 1995, reflects the challenges and progress in this male-dominated industry. From facing discrimination and harassment to advocating for women's recognition in professional societies, Miceli's experiences highlight the evolving landscape of NDT. The establishment of support networks, increased visibility, and growing appreciation for women's unique contributions have marked positive shifts. Despite lingering challenges, women now constitute 7-8% of the NDT workforce. Looking ahead, the industry's technological advancements present opportunities for women to leverage their skills in data analysis and system supervision, potentially accelerating their representation and impact in the field of NDT. <p><i> NDT.net generated this abstract with the assistance of AI technology.</i>
