17. Math Statistics between Woman and Men (Back Then)
Women weren’t given as much credit as men
They weren't given the opportunity as much as men either
Because women were suppose to be homemakers
They also weren't expected to know as much as men, but that change drastically

18. Math Statistics between Woman and Men (Today)
Women are much more credited today than back then
Today, women are winning noble peace prizes for their research and findings
Grade wise-Woman and Men are equal math education
Women and Mathematics have come a long way since 546 BC
