MyWiki:WikiProject Women in Red/Mathematics

WiR redlist index: Mathematics

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed. This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources.

This is a list under development of missing and needing to be improved articles on women who are (or have been) notable for their contribution to mathematics in academics, business, economics, politics, research, government or the social sector.
