Hello! I know this post is from a while ago so I don’t know if you’ll see but I thought I might as well try!

I’m almost 16 and have loved Econ since I was like 11. I loved to read the WSJ, watched so many Econ basics videos, and talked about the aggregate demand/aggregate supply model with as many people as I could. From what I’ve seen of the world and from reading people like you, I know a future in Econ can be *difficult* for women. Already I have been discouraged in math classes and encouraged to stick to history. Do you have any advice about how to start down the path of studying economics or someday a career for a young woman? Like would it actually be really beneficial if I knew a lot of math or was really well read on theory or had worked on any projects in these years? Thank you for your work!
