March is Women's History Month and to celebrate we encourage you to take some time to learn more about the experiences and contributions of women to mathematics. To get you started, check out the stories, links, posters, and resources we've collected. We'll be adding more content later this month, including a page dedicated to profiles of UC Berkeley women in mathematics so keep an eye out for our next announcement.
Our appreciation to Madeline Brandt, Claire Mirocha and contributors: Mariel Supina, Rahul Dalal, and Rockford Sison for granting us use of some of their prints to celebrate Women’s History Month. These prints, as well as several others, will be displayed in room 939 Evans for all to view, and we look forward to seeing them in person when we return to campus in the near future.
