520    "American media often ask why women can't do mathematics. 
       Any answer is misleading. Better questions are needed, 
       along with indications of how to find potential answers. 
       The Committee on the Participation of Women of the 
       Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has identified 
       more than fifty cultural customs that discourage aspiring 
       women mathematicians. How can these customs be changed? 
       What can be done to recruit, retain, and acknowledge women
       in mathematics? The Committee was established in 1987 to 
       'work for full involvement of women in the affairs of the 
       MAA and to develop MAA activities that will encourage 
       women in careers in the mathematical sciences.' With this 
       book the committee seeks to expand the number and 
       effectiveness of those winning women into mathematics."--
