Abstract

This paper presents the findings of a literature review that focused on gifted females and their inability to achieve in mathematics-based careers on a level equal to gifted males. The gifted female precedes the gifted male in intellectual development at an early age. However, she appears to fall behind as the years progress. The reasons why these women do not achieve levels of career attainment commensurate with their ear1y abilities, specifically internal barriers and societal factors are discussed. The writer concludes with implications for future education.
