She is lucky too, because her field falls within the scope of interest groups. Politics and lobbyism is pretty common in the committees and AMS. Just few years back, somebody (whose work I know) solved a deep fifty year old problem in algebra (lattice theory) and wanted it published in one of the AMS journals (not that the journals maintain standards), but the AMS power groups have their own ideas of what mathematics ought to be. So we had a signature campaign... that was one of the occasions they relented. As far as the claims about style in "doing math like a girl" is concerned. No, girls (and women :) do maths in various ways, styles and moods. Some are relentless and aggressive too in their approach. Best A. Mani A. Mani [Last_Name.
