From the Paper:

"Anna Han is a mathematics and psychology major at Ohio State University and points out that during her childhood, there were Barbie dolls that exclaimed ''Math Is Hard'' and recalls that her ninth-grade math teacher advised her to consider a career in math, but at the time, she was very reluctant about taking his suggestion seriously. Anna, like most girls, had been culturally conditioned that she could never do math and the only reason she was fabulous at it in school was because she needed to earn excellent grades in all of her classes. However, with more people complimenting her mathematical skills and suggesting that she pursue a career in math, Anna began to consider their suggestions seriously and then decided to major in mathematics."
