    Mini-Workshop: Women in Mathematics: Historical and Modern Perspectives
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2017) Oswald, Nicola; Tobies, Renate
    The aim of the workshop is to build a bridge between research on the situation of women in mathematics at the beginning of coeducative studies and the current circumstances in academia. The issue of women in mathematics has been a recent political and social hot topic in the mathematical community. As thematic foci we place a double comparison: besides shedding light on differences and similarities in several European countries, we complete this investigation by comparing the developments of women studies from the beginnings. This shall lead to new results on tradition and suggest improvements on the present situation.
