The Association for Women in Mathematics was founded in 1971 at the Joint
Mathematics Meetings in Atlantic City. The purpose of the association is
to encourage women to study and to have active careers in the mathematical
sciences, and to promote equal opportunity and equal treatment of women in
the mathematical community.
Initially, AWM operated as a grass roots movement with local meetings
all over the country. It now has grown to a membership of more than 3,500
which includes both women and men from the United Stated and around the
world, representing a broad spectrum of the mathematical community.
AWM's efforts have led to greater participation of women in the
mathematical community particularly as guest speakers at mathematical
meetings and as members of committees in all the associated societies.
AWM publishes the AWM Newsletter six times a year. In addition, AWM
sponsors a variety of activities which include organizing panels and
workshops, offering travel grants for women, supporting Sonia Kovalevsky
High School Mathematics Days, honoring women mathematicians with two
annual awards for excellence in undergraduate mathematics and mathematics
education, and other activities aimed at promoting the right of women to
pursue studies and careers in mathematics.
