My first posting for this blog (on March 23, 2010) featured one of my earliest poems, a tribute to mathematician Emmy Noether (1882 -1935) entitled "My Dance Is Mathematics." Even as it praised Noether's achievements, the poem protested the secondary status of math-women, not only in Noether's day but also today. It ends with the stanza :
Today, history books proclaim that Noether
is the greatest mathematician
her sex has produced. They say she was good
for a woman.
