Women, Mathematics, and Career Choices.

Urbanek, Mary M.

Action in Teacher Education, v5 n3 p9-13 Fall 1983

Failure of a significant number of females to participate in mathematics is now recognized as a concern of society, particularly by professionals. Encouragement, positive reinforcement, and access to special programs to motivate the math achiever are all necessary to increase the number of women entering mathematical studies. (JMK)
