Women in Maths -- on Facebook
Recently I prepared an item for Rachel Levy's Grandma Got STEM blog that told a bit about my granddaughters who like math. My preparation for that posting led me to focus on my wish to have math be a fun place for girls to hang out -- a place for lots of girls: feminine girls, sporty girls, popular girls, silly girls (as well as geek girls). Mathematics has mostly been a lonely place for females -- my first girl-friend who was also a math person was a colleague whom I met in my 40s (see my poem for Toni, "Girl-Talk"). I want mathematics to be a welcoming place for my granddaughters. A place with friends.
