May 12th, 1977, is the birthdate of Maryam Mirzakhani. Maryam Mirzakhani was an Iranian mathematician and a Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University. In 2014, Maryam Mirzakhani was awarded the Fields Medal for her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces, becoming the first woman, and the first Iranian, to be recognised for her mathematical achievements by this top mathematical prize. She died tragically from cancer in 2017 at the early age of 40.
On July 31st, 2018, in Rio de Janeiro, the Women’s Committee of the Iranian Mathematical Society presented to the participants of the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics, (WM)², a proposal that Maryam Mirzakhani’s birthday – May 12th – be recognised and supported to celebrate women in mathematics.
