(help)[M]any women find it difficult to be accepted by the mathematics community if they are not seen as professional. While the label "amateur" mathematician may have been an honorable one when women were not expected to do anything other than domestic work, it is no longer a label that would meet with such acceptance. Such a designation would now have negative connotations, and would make it difficult, for example, to receive grants, awards, jobs, and recognition.
