I have been reading comp.society.women intermittently, and just
saw the reference to a discussion on women in mathematics.  Is
there any way I can get hold of that discussion?  I will be teaching
a freshman writing seminar (at Dartmouth College) next fall, on the
topic of Women and Mathematics.  I have not yet put together
the syllabus.  I hope to have controversial and thought-provoking
topics, to get the frosh participating, and trying to formulate
coherent arguments.  One issue I will certain concentrate on is, why
don't we know/hear about women mathematicians?  A related issue is,
How do 'they' keep us from hearing about women mathematicians.
It should be a fun course.
