Sofia Kovalevskaya
Kovalevskaya was an influential mathematician, writer, and advocate of women's rights in the nineteenth century. She claimed to have been introduced to differential and integral calculus at the age of 11 by studying her father's old calculus notes that were papered on the nursery wall as a substitute for regular wallpaper. She went on to become the first woman to be granted a Ph.D. in mathematics. -
Florence Nightingale
1820-1910 was when she lived.She was an innovator in the collection, tabulation, interpretation, and graphical display of descriptive statistics. She invented "polar-area diagram," -
Sophie Germain
1776-1831 is when she egsisted. she helped by changing scientfic method.She made important contributions to the areas of number theory and mathematical physics, She did provide a partial solution to Fermat's Last Theorem for a large class of exponents. -
Maria Gaetana Agnesi
She was exposed to mathematics from a very early age, from textbooks her father had. She later published a math book. She was very smart and a confident lady. -
Euphemia Lofton Haynes
She pursued graduate studies in mathematics and education at the University of Chicago, earning a masters degree in education in 1930. She continued her graduate work in mathematics at the Catholic University of America where in 1943 she became the first African-American woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics. -
Lulu Hofmann Bechtolsheim
Lulu Hofmann Bechtolsheim was one of only 110 U.S. women to have earned the Ph.D. in mathematics before 1930 and she was one of the 228 women profiled in Judy Green's and Jeanne LaDuke's 2009 history. -
Marjorie Lee Browne
She earned her M.S. in mathematics from the University of Michigan in 1939, then joined the Wiley College faculty in Marshall, Texas, and started working on her doctorate in Michigan during summers.She earned a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1949, from Yale University. She taught through many very challenging endures. -
Gloria Hewitt

Hertha Marks Ayrton
From 1881 to 1883, She worked as a private mathematics tutor, as well as tutoring other subjects. In 1884 she invented a draftsman's device that could be used for dividing up a line into equal parts as well as for enlarging and reducing figures. She was also active in devising and solving mathematical problems, many of which were published in the Mathematical Questions. -
Lesley Sibner
