Biographies of Women in Mathematics
The website is part of an on-going project at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia, to illustrate the numerous achievements of women in the field of mathematics. Includes biographical essays or comments on the women mathematicians profiled on this site, as well as additional resources about women in mathematics.
Gender and Science Digital Library
The Gender & Science Digital Library is a network of learning environments and resources for STEM education. The program is aimed at meeting the needs of students and teachers at all levels--K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and lifelong learning--in both individual and collaborative settings, as well as formal and informal modes. The collection offers exceptional resources and services that help educators in promoting and implementing gender-equitable science education in both formal and informal settings, to both male and female students, and assisting in increasing female involvement in the sciences. In addition, it will provide resources to researchers and others working to understand the link between gender and science, including how gender influences the development of science and the role of women within science.
