Title: Where can I find out more about Maryam Mirzakhani's work?

David says:

Following the sad news about the death of Maryam Mirzakhani and the interview with Dr Tom Crawford on the BBC about her work - I would like to learn more about the mathematical area that she was working in.

Are there any books / websites / papers etc that you could recommend which would give a gentle introduction to her work and achievements ( my background is in applied mathematics but I am very rusty ! ) ?

Can you help?
