Marilyn vos Savant was born in 1946 and grew up in a working-class family. She read the entire encyclopedia by age 10. She attended Meramec Community College, then Washington University in St. Louis but left after two years to help run the family investment business.
She held Guinness's highest recorded IQ (1985-1989).
In 1990, her “Ask Marilyn” column correctly solved the Monty Hall problem: switch doors for a 2/3 chance of winning a car.
She received over 10,000 angry letters—including PhDs telling her she was wrong. She stayed calm but was proved right. 🔥
Do you think she was challenged so fiercely because she was a woman or purely the counterintuitive math?
For me as a woman that loved Math, I’m glad for women like her that paved the way for the career I have now and was glad that she was proven right😉🔥
We also need to get rid of common core Math in all public education.
