SANCHEZ-B., Clara Helena. Gender and mathematics. Colombian pioneering women in mathematics. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.160, pp.381-392. ISSN 0370-3908.  https://doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.487.

In this paper, I intend to enhance the place of the first Colombian women who obtained a PhD degree in Mathematics contextualizing its importance both in the national and the international contexts. A brief discussion on the relation between gender and Mathematics allows to find answers regarding the low representation of women in the mathematical community and their invisibility in this field. © 2017.
