Abstract

This article examines the portrayal of female mathematicians in movies, both real and fictional, throughout different time periods. It discusses various films, including documentaries and fictional narratives, that feature women mathematicians and their contributions to the field. The article acknowledges that while some movies may take creative liberties, they still serve as important tributes to the accomplishments of female mathematicians. It also highlights the evolving depiction of women mathematicians in recent films, which focus on character development and breaking away from stereotypes. The article further explores the significance of mathematics in cinema and calls for more representation and equality in the film industry. [Extracted from the article]
