Abstract
The stereotype of a successful mathematician is someone who has been focused on mathematics from early in life. Many women (and those from other represented groups) do not fit this image. This talk will describe a program that has successfully let women re-enter the mathematics pipeline and the stories of some its participants, who are now mathematicians. The Post baccalaureate program for women in mathematics at Smith College in Massachusetts, USA, was the first of its kind to help women with Bachelor’s degrees who were not prepared for graduate school in math get the support they needed to pursue their goals. It remains a unique opportunity.
