Here are some hopeful stats from a Girls Inc. study that make it clear that girls rock the numbers:
- Among SAT takers a higher percentage of young women than young men are enrolled in honors math courses (55% vs 45%).
- Grade point averages in math and the natural sciences are higher for young women than for young men.
- Women earn 47% of bachelor’s degrees in mathematics.
Aw, yeah! Any math-readergirlz out there?

Woohoo! Thanks, Melissa!
I wish! Maybe if I'd had Danica's books.
But my husband is a numbers guy, so I have my fingers crossed for our future children...
Yay for numbers!
This week's episode of The Cape (a new show on NBC) featured guest star Mena Suvari as a woman who had a special talent related to numbers.
In Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters trilogy, math is a superpower.
