Go girl!
Hypatia of Alexandria
(Its all greek to me)
Feminist, Mathematician, Anti-christian, Astronomer, Overall Smartarse & Martyr. Lived around 400AD. I think she'd have been a great lady to have a pint with. (Barring the time travel, language & other minor barriers). What a life she must have lived.
Hypatia (born c. 350–370 – March 415 AD) was a Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who lived in Alexandria, at that time in the province of Egypt and a major city of the Eastern Roman Empire. In Alexandria, Hypatia was a prominent thinker who taught subjects including philosophy and astronomy, and in her lifetime was renowned as a great teacher and a wise counselor.
