SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Women Becoming Mathematicians looks at the lives and careers of thirty-six of the approximately two hundred women who earned Ph. D.'s in mathematics from American institutions from 1940 to 1959. During this period, American mathematical research enjoyed an unprecedented expansion, fueled by the technological successes of World War II and the postwar boom in federal funding for education in the sciences. Yet women's share of doctorates earned in mathematics in the United States reached an all-time low.
Text of Note
This book explores the complex interplay between the personal and professional lives of those women who embarked on mathematical careers during this period, with a view to understanding how changes in American society during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s affected their career development and identities as mathematicians."--Jacket.
