Sex, Maths, and the Brain

I found this poetry in an abstract (with a link posted at "Women in Maths" on Facebook) for a lecture by Professor Gina Rippon entitled "Sex, Maths, and the Brain" at Aston University in Birmingham, England, on 30 June 2015.  Enjoy!

Is there such a thing as a maths 
brain? Are mathematicians born 
or made?  Is the lack of girls 
in maths subjects 
a 'brain' problem?

 . . . the under-representation of women 

in mathematics is not 

a "biological problem 

with social consequences" but actually 

a "social problem 

with biological consequences."

Here is a link (that works for me sometimes and sometimes does not) to Rippon's abstract.
