“If you are good enough, that can transcend the gender stuff”

Women in advanced mathematics continue to be underrepresented despite representational progress in K-16 mathematics. Existing literature has investigated women’s mathematical identities at the undergraduate level and revealed varying ways women organize their mathematical selves in response to the masculine context of mathematics. In this paper, I expand on the existing identity research about women in undergraduate mathematics to better understand the mathematical identities of women in doctoral mathematics. I discuss themes related to women’s mathematical identities and the cultural discourse of “Women in Math.”
