The essays will be based primarily on an interview with a woman currently working in or retired from a mathematical career. This contest is open to students in the following categories: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, and College Undergraduate. At least one winning submission will be chosen from each category. Winners will receive a prize, and their essays will be published online at the AWM website. Additionally, a Grand Prize winner will have their submission published in the AWM Newsletter.
