Counting the women
The stimulus for this posting appeared a few weeks ago in the Washington Post -- in an article that considers the loneliness of women in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, math).
For me, it was never a conscious thing -- the counting. It simply happened. The numbers are small and you know, if you are a woman and a mathematician in a room full of mathematicians, how many women are in the room. Any room. It is a small counting number. Sometimes it is 1.
