Hi Kenneth, Karen is an amazing mathematician... which is obvious. While she's held many awards and certificates and is often labeled "The first woman", the fact is that her work is so incredible on so many levels that calling out her gender is quite sad. Please write something..
This year's winner of the Abel Prize, math's equivalent of the Nobel, is Karen Uhlenbeck. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/19/science/karen-uhlenbeck-abel-prize.html …
