Check out our latest blog post by Shreya Roychoudhury, the founder of Mathemagica (Instagram: @math.emagica): “I am an engineer, a founder, and a woman who refuses to be subtracted from the equation. At Mathemagica, we are proving that while prejudice might be a variable we have to deal with, our potential is a constant. We are here to stay, and we are here to solve.”

“Looking back, my path has not been linear, and I changed direction more than once; however, what has stayed constant is curiosity, even when the topics and the places were changing. This is also what I like most about mathematics: there is room for many different trajectories, as long as you keep following questions that genuinely interest you.” - Mikaela Iacobelli

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 💛✨

“After a long career, I am convinced that at every level of learning, it is possible to create an authentic picture of mathematics and convey an impression of how mathematics forms its own world of well-ordered structures with a striking internal consistency, and how this is precisely what makes it so effective in applications.” - Lisa Hefendehl-Hebeker

✨ We’re back! ✨
After a cosy winter break, Her Maths Story is kicking off the new year - and we’re excited to welcome Marta Lazzaretti to the team!
Marta will be taking care of our social media channels, helping us share stories, perspectives, and pathways in mathematics with you throughout the year.
Here’s to a new chapter and a great year ahead 💜
“Representation shapes what seems possible, even when no one says it out loud. I feel so incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with (...) incredible women.” - Surya Mathialagan

In our latest blog post, we reflect on our #CountedOutDoc screening event in mid-October and summarise the core action points we identified in the post-film discussion. We’re super interested in YOUR ideas on how you can take action personally to make the #maths table more inclusive.

Ashleigh Ratcliffe & Rosie Evans wrote a blog post presenting their booklet on how to improve gender diversity in mathematical research: “We acknowledge that opportunities can arise due to who you know or are introduced to. Sharing of information, opportunities and networks is invaluable, especially to first generation PhD students and minoritised groups.”

Today, Jamie Haddock and Anna Little share their experience organizing the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) workshop at the SIAM/CAIMS 2025 Annual Meeting.
“The AWM Workshop provided an opportunity for community building among participants across career stages and all research areas in applied and computational mathematics…[and created] a space…where the entire AWM–SIAM community could come together.”

Today our team member Anna Breger tells her story - “Many little twists and turns have brought me to where I am now and I am absolutely thrilled about my interdisciplinary research project working on image analysis and historical music manuscripts.”
