Welcome to the seventy-eighth episode of the Womanthology podcast.

Womanthology is the digital magazine and professional community powered by female energy and ingenuity. We champion equal recognition and reward for everyone, sharing opportunities, ideas and a deep pool of collective wisdom – supporting each other to be unstoppable.

In our Women in Mathematics episode, we speak with Jessy Randall, acclaimed poet and author of Mathematics for Ladies, a collection of poems exploring the lives of the lost women of maths and science. Jessy's powerful collection of poems delves into the often-overlooked lives of women who made significant contributions to the fields of mathematics and science. Jessy discusses her journey in uncovering these hidden histories, and how she transforms her frustrations with historical inequities into a poignant and relatable narrative for contemporary women.
