Resumen
In this paper we contemplate three considerations with regard to gender, culture, and ethnomathematics: The long-term trend in Western culture of excluding women and women’s activities from mathematics, an analysis of some activities typically associated with women with the goal of showing that mathematical processes are frequently involved in said activities, and an examination of some specific examples of cultural tendencies in which certain skills of women are highly regarded. The cultures we will consider are from the regions of the Andes of South America, India, and Mesoamerica.
