1910-2010: One hundred years since women were admitted to the university. How many have to elapse for equality?

"The taste for the abstract sciences and, above all, by the mysteries of numbers is in itself very unusual [...] But when a woman because of her sex, our customs and prejudices, must [...] infinite face additional obstacles and yet surpasses them, and enters what is hidden, this woman certainly has the most noble courage, extraordinary talent and superior genius. " Carl Friedrich Gauss

Fermat's Enigma, Albert Violant

(There is another book of similar title: The Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh).

Gauss referred to Sophie Germain, mathematician of his era (1776-1831), who had to take a male pseudonym, Monsieur Leblanc, so that the mathematical community her statement.

More recently, in 1910 La Gaceta de Madrid issued a Royal Order of Ministry of Education allowing the admission of women in all schools, thus repealing a prior order of 1888 in which the required authorization of the Council of Ministers for a woman was admitted to the University , - earlier in 1882 the university entrance was forbidden for women-.and before: from 1872 to 1882 no more than 40 women in the English universities, to which should accompany a man in the classroom and always separated from their peers.

a story more suited to a story like Singer, "Yentl the yeshiva boy "(Yentl the yeshiva boy from the ) and is based one of my favorite movies: Yentl , directed, starring and co-produced by Barbra Streisand in 1983 (the first being time in history in which a woman takes these three tasks in a film), the protagonist must masquerade as a boy to study the Torah and Talmud like had to make Hua Mulan, the heroine of this fine movie from Disney.

also the almighty Internet soon echo the lives of great women. I remember in the 90's the first computer class in which my students had access to Internet and search for information on the World Wide Web was an arduous task because it was not until 1996 that there was a search in Castilian: www.ole.es (an acronym for Specialty Links Regulations, and not the English show business as we thought at the time). Well, at that time was almost impossible to find information about Ada Lovelace Byron even if we mentioned computer language created in 1983 by the Department of Defense U.S. called Ada in her honor.

• Lovelace, Ada Augusta (1815-1852). British mathematics. born in London. It was the only legitimate daughter of poet George Gordon (1788-1824), better known as Lord Byron, Byron Dubbed as " Princess of Parallelograms" , his mother sent him the interest in mathematics, providing prestigious tutors in this area as Augustus de Morgan and Mary Sommerville through which he met the mathematician Charles Babbage had designed the "difference engine" (calculator polynomials and logarithms over finite difference method, by that time worked in the "analytical engine" . It was a much more ambitious wit , endowed with memory, with a specific programming using punch cards (inspired jacquard looms) and capable of performing any arithmetic operation and print the results. Babbage never actually built computers either mechanical, Ada was an enthusiastic partner, which he named his " the Enchantress of numbers. " In 1843, Ada published an article describing a method for calculating a sequence of numbers Bernouille with the analytical engine, which is why e l first programming language known.

• Margaret Cavendish (1623-1674) . Duchess of Newcastle. Participated in the discussions most important of his time on the matter and motion, the existence of vacuum, perception and knowledge. was the first woman to be heard in the Royal Society London, which wanted to explain his experiments with color and magnets. The men protested against the intervention of the weaker sex and little brain for science, and never admitted their income despite their various private collections (mainly of telescopes) were much better equipped than those of the institution. His work New Blazing World ", is considered the first science fiction novel of the period and the first work signed by a woman in Europe.

She had a premonition in 1663, when he said:

" As a woman, I can not ... publicly ... Preaching, Teaching, Declares ... . "

In the rest of Europe, nor are they wanted. Marie Curie was rejected by the Academie des Sciences in 1911, the year he got his second Nobel Prize.

In the 350 years since its foundation, the Royal Society has had 60 women members. One is anthen Donald, Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge, who believes that " must take into account the historical context of the Royal Society, the woman in the UK did not get the right to vote until 1928 and the possibility of graduating from the University of Cambridge until 1948, that was a remarkable period for the rights of women. "

Precisely attended Cambridge University Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923), engineer and inventor. He studied mathematics and obtained a certificate of attendance because the titles and ranks were for men. With the certificate, without appreciation for their studies, Hertha went to London and married one of his professors in physics and he advanced in his experiments on electrical systems.

invented, among other devices, a fan to remove poisonous gases in the trenches during the First World War. In 1904, he presented his work at a meeting of the Royal Society of London. Then did not protest, but looked at with suspicion.

access to the academic world, the most frequent way for scientific knowledge, was closed or restricted to women until well into the twentieth century. A Herta was allowed to go to college, a listener, but the Scottish Mary Somerville (1780-1872) not even in this way. He also denied entry to the Vatican Observatory as a woman but from a family of scientists, are devoted to astronomy and mathematics, and had translated into English a pioneering study of the French astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace on the mathematical structure of system solar. She wrote: "I have translated the work of Laplace algebra ordinary language." And on it said they had "his head in the stars but feet firmly on the ground." In 1835, he was admitted to the Royal Astronomical Society . The

was never admitted to any institution was the paleontologist Mary Anning (1799-1847); humble self and family, was known as a collector of fossils found in the cliffs of Dorset, southern England. It took more than his colleagues recognize him their discoveries in the field of dinosaur skeleton identified the first plesiosaur ichtiosauro and pterosaur and the first outside Germany.

"The world has mercilessly used me and makes me suspicious of everyone," he wrote after seeing appropriated other studies. It was known in the Circle of Geology in Europe and America, despite being rejected by the Geological Society of London . This year, the Royal Society has included among the ten most important women who have influenced the history of science.

Today 12.3% of jobs in science, engineering and technology are held by women and these leave the two men of science in the UK. anthen Professor Donald believes that "the statistics are alarming but we have reason to be positive about the future of the Royal Society, we have opened several programs to support women."

There Mathematical Association of Women (Association for Women in Mathematics,) which aims to encourage women and girls to study math and science careers and educational development in this discipline and to promote pies equality in science. It was founded in 1971 and now has 3000 members (women and men).
also the association: European Mathematical Women (European Women in Mathematics), another organization with similar objectives, but focused on the European level. Founded in 1986, when the ICM Berkeley, in Finland in 1993, which has its offices.

And to finish with a good taste after this a promising relationship troubles news:

"the podium last High School Mathematics Olympiad was occupied entirely by women, including Asturias is a math heads chinos.Las origins of this edition are Carmen Love, Institute of International Jovellanos Gijón, Miao Qi Ye, Heart of Mary of Oviedo and Magdalena Rodríguez of La Ería, which represent Asturias next month in Pamplona.
breaks the mold, too, because two of the champions is now in Class and not second, and because another study a Bachelor of Humanities and Social Sciences, with the usual stereotypes that students categorized as low ability in mathematics
."...

One last recommendation: read a book, an enjoyable by the History of Mathematics by eight women scientists from the hand of Susana Mataix and his book:

" Mathematics is the name of a woman "
