Hypatia - 4th Century Woman Astronomer
The death of Hypatia, and the loss of the world's largest collection of scientific and mathematic writings, were factors that contributed to the halt of scientific advances in the West for nearly a thousand years.
The new movie Agora chronicles the life, challenges and death of Hypatia, a 4th Century woman astronomer whose contribution influenced and shaped modern science and our understanding of the world and the universe.
This woman was amazing and I can't wait to see the movie.
