Graphic in green reads "Sophie Germain 1776-1831" and this text is included: Germain was from Paris and self-studied mathematics as a teenager, to the point that she could read the works of Newton and Euler. While not allowed to attend mathematics lectures at the Ecole Polytechnique, Germain was able to advance her studies by obtaining course notes. Usin a male pseudonym she corresponded with both Lagrange and Gauss, who later learned of her true identity and then promoted her work. Germain made significant contributions to efforts to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, and also to elasticity. She was the first woman to win a prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. The French Academy of Sciences awards an annual Sophie Germain Prize.

Illustration of Maryam Mirzakhani from the AWM EvenQuads card deck with text detailing her achievements as the first woman and Iranian to win the Fields Medal in mathematics. Text reads: "Mirzakhani was from Iran and did her graduate studies in the US. She was a full professor at Stanford University until her untimely death from breast cancer, having previously been at Princeton University. Mirzakhani was awarded the Fields Medal (2014) for her work on hyperbolic and symplectic geometry. This made her both the first woman and the first Iranian to win this prestigious award. She was made a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2016), and that body now awards the Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics in her honor. Mirzakhani’s birthday, May 12th, is known as a day for celebrating women in mathematics.
