Recently, the young Chinese female mathematician Wang Hong has attracted widespread attention. This development is part of a broader historical trajectory that began with the emergence of feminism in the 19th century. In this talk, we introduce some famous female mathematicians and a feminist perspective into the history of mathematics, explore how mathematics became a male-dominated discipline over time, and whether—and how—women’s contributions have been overlooked or marginalized throughout history.
