CWM was approved by the IMU Executive Committee in March 2015. Its first meeting took place in Cortona, Italy in September 2015; a detailed report can be found here. The second meeting was in Berlin, July 2016 and the third in Berlin in May 2017. 

CWM is organizing the first Worldwide Meeting for Women in Mathematics in Rio as a satellite event of ICM. See report here.

Here you can find recordings of some mathematical lectures given by prominent female speakers, and also some presentations and panel discussions organised at WiM events.

On this page you will find some general sources for external collections and bibliographies of women mathematicians. Please let us know if you are aware of other good sources which might be included.

On this page you will find some biographies of  individuals. Please let us know if you are aware of other good sources which might be included.

Once you start collecting photos of women mathematicians, you realise just how many there are. Looking across the generations, how striking it is to see how women have overcome the multitude of obstacles placed in their paths, each with achievements which in their time were extraordinary. Among our own generation, probably the first in which women have been able to study and hold positions truly without barriers, we find a baroness, some chevalières and some dames, members of scientific academies and winners of prestigious awards, and above all, so many women who have achieved `firsts’.
