Women in Mathematics throughout history

http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/women.htm

and if you have not heard of Ingrid Daubechies, then shame on you
http://www.pacm.princeton.edu/~ingrid/

The field of wavelets, that is, that important and incredibly useful
complement to Fourier analysis, would not be the field of wavelets if
it were not for Daubechies (think about that, the next time you have
data stored in your standard JPEG-2000 format
http://datacompression.info/JPEG2000.shtml), or receive compressed
data over your telecommunications network.
