In 2014, a woman won the Fields Medal for the first time since it was established. Her story is fascinating because she was representing ordinary girls from all over the world. Her name was Maryam Mirzakhani, and she was from Iran. When Maryam was studying in Iran, there were separate schools for boys and girls. This did not make it easy for her to pursue science. Still, she did not give up. She worked hard and became one of the first Iranian girls to take part in the International Mathematical Olympiad, where she won a gold medal. The following year, she won another gold medal. She completed her early studies in Iran and later went to the United States, where she earned her PhD from Harvard University in 2004. Ten years later, she was awarded the Fields Medal for her important work in the geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces. Stories like hers help inspire more women to be included in the world of mathematics.
