Eva Kaufholz-Soldat studied Mathematics and the History of Science at Hamburg University. Having earned her Ph.D. from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz with a dissertation on the reception of the Russian mathematician Sofya Kovalevskaya (1850–1891), she is now both head of the Writing Center for the Natural Sciences and Mathematics and a researcher, focusing on women in mathematics at the turn of the 20th century, at Goethe University, Frankfurt.Nicola Oswald graduated from the University of Wurzburg with a dissertation in Number Theory. She is currently investigating the history of modern mathematics, in particular with regard to Adolf Hurwitz, at the University of Wuppertal. In 2017/18 she was a Guest Professor for Mathematics and Gender at the University of Hannover.

“The book is a pleasant read and should appeal to a wide audience across disciplines. There are no mathematical prerequisites to full comprehension and as an introductory text the meta discussions contain robust citations to the past century of the historiography of women in science. … I strongly recommend the adoption of this book for individual or classroom use.” (Jeema Lorenat, MAA Reviews, July 4, 2022)“Against All Odds: Women’s Ways to Mathematical Research Since 1800 offers various historiographic strategies as it ambitiously attends to centering the lives and experiences of women among the vanguard of professional transformations. … the collection is most commendable for incorporating and advocating for ways of examining the past that will likely prove more effective in encouraging students of mathematics to ask and explore questions of historical, as well as contemporary, significance about their chosen discipline.” (K. G. Valente, Metascience, Vol. 30, July 13, 2021)
