ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the origins and goals of the Swedish Women and Mathematics network and outlines its connections with the society within which it operates. Through conferences and newsletters, women support each other, share information and collaborate on joint projects. Published conference proceedings in turn provide the literature for pre-service and in-service teacher education and in this way the ideas of Women and Mathematics are more widely disseminated. As well, we are engaged in research on classroom interaction and curriculum development, and other activities which promote women in post-secondary education.
