This work tells of the long slow struggle of women and minorities to achieve parity in the field of mathematics through the stories of representative women and minority mathematicians from the past couple of centuries. The author, a female mathematician who is herself involved in some of the stories narrated, provides chapters on notable African American and Latino mathematicians; but the bulk of the material is devoted to women. Women's participation in mathematics is described for the 19th and 20th centuries and the Association for Women in Mathematics is profiled. Chapters are included on the current state of women's and minorities' participation in mathematics as of 2004. The focus of the text is on American mathematicians, but a few notable international women mathematicians are included. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
