Women in mathematics association letter

To Whom It May Concern:

I am an eighteen-year old female student in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am working on a research project of the excommunication of women in the mathematical field. I was wondering if you could offer me with any sources to support my claim that women are just as capable as men concerning math. Or if you could help me on how to field questions such as, why are there not as many women as men in the mathematical community? Or where did this myth come from?
I really enjoyed your website and the positive support that it gives to young women who want to pursue a career in mathematics. I hope that you keep the website u and running. Thank you for your time.

Sincerly,

Alyssa Parker
