Another unknown birthday: Amongst the earliest recorded woman in #mathematics, Hypatia lived during the 4th century AD in Alexandria, Egypt, which was part of the Roman Empire. She was born at some time between about 350 and 370 and died in 415 C.E. She taught philosophy, #astronomy and mathematics at a NeoPlatonist school. She believed in empiricism and natural law. 馃У1/n

My linocut portrait of  Hypatia in purple holding an astrolabe up to her eye with her left arm while her right rests on geometric diagrams on sheets of paper on her table. Astrolabe and table plus diagrams are bronze in colour. I鈥檝e shown her with curly hair piled up on her head, in a loose tunic with sash. Behind her are two Doric columns and arch.
