There is a group called something like Women in Mathematics that
holds a couple sessions at the joint AMA/AMS/SIAM meetings.  These
sessions have been very helpful to me, especially the ones that
deal with history of women in mathematics--the women whose fathers
burned their algebra books, the women who won prizes only when they
used assumed names, the women who secretly did mathematics when 
everyone assumed they were sleeping.  (I highly recommend Sonya
Kovaleskia (sp??) memoir, _A Russian Childhood_ on this topic...)
