INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2019

#INTERNATIONAL #WOMEN'S #DAY 2019

  
One of the fields of  research not recognized by the Nobel Prize is that of Mathematics.
However, throughout history a few women devoted their careers and most of their life time to the study of mathematics, thus reaching their goals.

 Even if the  under-representation of women in that world is well documented, quite 
 a few faced the many difficulties around them and managed  to obtain a well deserved      success.

 International Women's Day is approaching and I would like to upload this          presentation of a brief, but hopefully insightful, short story  of the most significant    women whose study  shed a light on the field of Mathematical Sciences.

I have excluded from this blogpost Maryam Mirzakhani, the great Iranian  mathematician, not because of her lesser importance, but because she was a unique girl as a student, a brilliant teenager in secondary and upper school and an excellent professor at Harvard University: probably the greatest  mathematician of the las two centuries.

The activities in this presentation are suitable for B1, B2 and C1 students (CEFR), or intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced learners of English.
