Tai-Danae Bradley, the author of this post, has also written an illustrated booklet (freely available) about Category Theory: https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2018/09/18/what-is-appl...



And, additionally, was a host on the YouTube series PBS Infinite Series, shortly before it was cancelled.


I'm still sad that it was cancelled. She's a great presenter and I was really excited about the series they were planning on category theory.


She has written introductory blog posts on CT as well: https://www.math3ma.com/blog/what-is-category-theory-anyway


The way this book is so wonderfully illustrated and written is why we need more women in math/tech. I haven't read any paper/book on abstract math/category theory that wasn't extremely dry and boring


Hmm, on what factual basis did you come to the conclusion that there is a strong association between author's gender and illustrative nature of a math/science writing?
