Gender gap in mathematics in academic and research institutions: A small case study

The problem of disproportionate numbers of men and women in the field of
 mathematics is reflected in a small number of women mathematicians in
 leading positions in research institutions and universities in the whole
 world. The studies show that the numbers of women in the field of
 mathematics becomes progressively lower as they climb the hierarchical
 ladder on academic and professional level. In our research we applied
 integrative approach which included collection of data from the interviews
 conducted with eleven women mathematicians of different age which come from
 Europe, North America and Australia. We were particularly interested in the
 strategies the participants used in order to bridge the gender gap in the
 field of mathematics in which they excelled. The study points to the factors
 that might explain their dedication to pursue the study of mathematics
 despite institutional and socio-cultural obstacles they had to surmount.
