Women in Mathematics-Related Fields

You may want to read my previous post to see what exactly caused me to write this.

So, obviously women are not innately worse at math than men are. That's complete nonsense. Here of some examples of women who did well in mathematics-related fields:

First, of course, I have to put Ada Lovelace. I find her personally interesting because she's widely acknowledged to be the first computer programmer. Here's a biography describing her achievements.

Maria Agnesi wrote the first math textbook written by a woman.

Marjorie Lee Browne was one of the first black women to get a graduate degree in math in the US

Grace Hopper invented the compiler (basically, a compiler converts code written in a programming language to machine language. Click on the link if you have no idea what I'm talking about and are so inclined.).

And there are many more if you care to look.
