Abstract
We call ourselves Women Math Warriors. When we first gathered in 1998, only 13% of US PhDs in the mathematical sciences were awarded to American women, of which only 2% were underrepresented women [1]. We are community members of the Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) Program, an American Mathematical Society “program that makes a difference” in improving diversity in the US mathematical profession [2]. InA Celebration of the EDGE Program’s Impact on the Mathematics Community and Beyond, we report on our own program, mathematics outreach and inclusivity work, mathematics teaching, mathematics research, and mathematical lives.
