Math and many of the sciences seem to be traditionally male dominated professions. This doesn’t mean that only men have contributed to these fields. Below is a short list of notable female mathematicians throughout history. There are many more and please let us know of an equally notable female mathematician we have missed from the list below. We will definitely update our list. Below is a brief introduction to each of these women. While each received many awards and held important positions in the academic and mathematical community, their greatest impact was that they preserved in a predominantly male discipline helping to pave the way for the next generation of female mathematicians. More can be found out about each at the given reference.
