Meet a woman mathematician

This page offers women mathematician a meeting point providing them with a gallery of portraits of living women mathematicians. Therefore, we invite you to give your own contribution. Such a portrait/presentation could strike as more personal than the one on the official web site.

European Mathematical Society Committee on Women and Mathematics has a great pleasure to introduce

Audio Interviews with some of the particapants of EWM Cambridge meeting made by Marianne Freiberger

Please feel free to introduce a woman colleague of yours by providing some biographical notes she had previously given you for this purpose (which can range from a simple anecdote to a more linear account of her life as a mathematician). Ask them to say something about themselves and/or to initiate a discussion on a particular subject. We expect the portrait/presentation of your fellow colleague to be more personal than the one on her official web site.

If you wish to contribute, as an introduction to the biographical data you wish to present, we would kindly ask you to write a few lines about yourself and tell us where you work and in what field of research, how you met this woman colleague of yours, and why you felt like introducing her on this web site.

  1. Dear colleagues,
    I would like to contribute to the webside Meet a woman mathematician,
    with portrait of one very succesfull Slovak woman mathematician working in the field of abstract algebra.
    How could I send you information about her?
    Thanks for your information.

  5. Hello.I have just gone through your site and read the inspiring stories of women in mathematics.I am a 30 year old Kenyan woman currently working as a high school maths teacher in a school where majority of my colleagues are men.I find the work environment stiffling,with colleagues who are quite insensitive to each others needs,especially since sciences are still considered largely male fields,in 3rd world countries.In short i seek a breather in the form of further studies in mathematics.Would someone help me?Thank you.
