Women in Mathematics Day

            The Women in Mathematics day, first organized in 2019, celebrates women in Mathematics all over the world. It is in honor of Iranian Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first and only woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in Mathematics. The chosen day May 12th, 1977 refers to her birthday. Maryam Mirzakhani, who was a professor at Stanford University, died from breast cancer in 2017.
