- Description:
- It requires gumption to dream of a life path that is different from what is presented as possible. Too often when we speak of women in mathematics, we focus on the data highlighting underrepresentation and the obstacles they face, rather than acknowledging the contributions women have made to the field of mathematics and the courage their participation often required. Learning about the contribu- tions of role models can go a long way to combat isolation and foster a sense of belonging within the challenging field of mathematics.
