The Clearest Graphs You Will Ever See Refuting the Idea That Women Are Bad at Math
The Clearest Graphs You Will Ever See Refuting the Idea That Women Are Bad at Math
In this 26-slide show, Terri Oda, who earned her PhD in computer science, uses graphs and commentary to refute the assumption that women are bad at math. She opens with a question and answer: “How does biology explain the low numbers of women in computer science? Hint: It doesn’t.” What follows is her witty analysis of common stereotypes about gender and math ability, accompanied by ability charts to demonstrate her point visually. Before you click through the slides, consider what you think you know about gender and math ability. Then, consider how effectively Oda persuades you with questions and graphs.
