A Volume in International Perspectives on Mathematics Education -
Cognition, Equity & Society Series Editor Bharath Sriraman, The
University of Montana and Lyn English, Queensland University of
Technology Why a book on gender issues in mathematics in the 21st
century? Several factors have influenced the undertaking of this
project by the editors. First, an international volume focusing on
gender and mathematics has not appeared since publication of papers
emerging from the 1996 International Congress on Mathematical
Education (Keitel, 1998). Surely it was time for an updated look at
this critical area of mathematics education. Second, we have had
lively discussion and working groups on gender issues at
conferences of the International Group for the Psychology of
Mathematics Education [PME] for the past four years, sessions at
which stimulating and ground-breaking research has been discussed
by participants from many different countries. Some publication
seemed essential to share this new knowledge emerging from a wider
variety of countries and from different cultural perspectives.
Third, some western countries such as Australia and the USA have
experienced in recent years a focus on the "boy problem," with an
underlying assumption that issues of females and mathematics have
been solved and are no longer worthy of interest. Thus it seemed
timely to look more closely at the issue of gender and mathematics
internationally. When the idea for this volume first emerged,
invitations were issued to those regularly attending the working
and discussion groups at PME. Potential authors were charged to
focus on gender issues in mathematics and were given wide scope to
hone in on the issues that were central to their own research
efforts, or were in receipt or in need of close attention in their
own national or regional contexts.
