Narrating stories of the world’s women mathematicians, in portraits

A new exhibition highlights the achievements of 20 remarkable women mathematicians from around the globe, shedding light on their struggles against the pervasive glass ceiling in the field. Among the featured mathematicians is an Indian scholar, whose contributions add to the rich tapestry of women's impact in mathematics. This initiative not only celebrates their individual stories but also seeks to inspire future generations of female mathematicians. By focusing on these extraordinary women, the exhibition aims to challenge stereotypes and promote gender equality in STEM fields, encouraging a broader representation in academia. The stories shared in the exhibition serve as a powerful reminder of the barriers that many women face and the resilience they demonstrate in overcoming these challenges.
