5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our very first story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating women in maths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported and believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨

“Despite all of this, I have come to a point where I can proudly announce that I am a woman and a mathematician.” - Zoe Nieraeth (she/her)

This might be an insignificant number to many. But I'm often reminded that we should celebrate all our accomplishments, no matter how small they look. I know that we all are more than mere metrics that academia obtusely still imposes on us. But as someone who has mostly recovered from impostor syndrome now, I would like share that I've just crossed the 100 citations mark, with the hope that this might inspire young #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMath #GirlsWhoCode

It's all about symmetry. Happy Birthday to one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, Emmy Noether.
Born #OTD March 23, in 1882 in Germany.
Glad that you have focused on this.

But, this thread attempts to explore the different things that a mathematician does. Along the way, we highlight some exceptional Indian women mathematicians as examples. #GWOM #womeninmath @GwoMaths @AWMmath

By the way, going back to "public" to say that Constance Reid is amazing too. She was known for writing #mathematician #biographies
She also wrote a #biography of #Hilbert that now I really want to read
She was the sister of the very famous mathematician Julia Robinson (1st female mathematician admitted to the Nat'l Academy of Sciences, 1st female president of the American Mathematical Society) -- Reid also wrote a book about her sister!
