Celebrating the power of mentorship and role models this #InternationalWomensDay! 
Today, we honour the incredible women in mathematics from all around the world who are paving the way for future generations. We picked three quotes from fantastic women we featured who reflect on the role models and mentors who shaped their journey:
“Although I may have never told her, [my PhD advisor] has always been my role model in this field. My aspiration is to be a source of inspiration and guidance for my students, just as she was for me.” (Liliana Esquivel)

“(...) I took the route of role models like Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory and Dr. Amelia Brand from Interstellar, and chose a degree in Aerospace Engineering.” (Sanchita Chakraborty) https://hermathsstory.eu/sanchita-chakraborty/
“(...) I had a meeting where my mentor said “when you go to graduate school”. I had no idea what graduate school was, but I knew that if she believed in me, then I should go to graduate school.” (Pamela Estephania Harris) https://hermathsstory.eu/pamela-estephania-harris/
