12th May International Women in Mathematics Day



International Women in Mathematics Day is a joyful event celebrated every year on 12th May. Statistically fewer women have a Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctoral degree in mathematics. This  day promotes women in mathematics all around the world, inspiring them to celebrate their achievements and encourage an inclusive work environment for all.

Last year I wrote about women mathematicians for Women's Day, so I have added the link here if you would like to source some books for a display.

Women have been involved in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) for thousands of years. While many have faced obstacles because of their gender, things are changing for the better, and today there are more women than ever working in these disciplines.
