- Abstract
The article examines the relationship between the construction of femininity and the cultural understanding of rationality and mathematics. It outlines the theoretical framework to address the gap between femininity and mathematics that alienates women in the field by arguing that Western culture has been gendered and masculine. It examines contemporary series of mathematics textbooks which offer limited subject positions for female readers entering the field.
