Hypatia of Alexandria. 350?-415 AD.
Hypatia was the first historically noted woman in mathematics, and also taught philosophy and astronomy in Alexandria, Egypt. She was the head of a Platonist School, where she taught the knowledge of Plato and Aristotle. Her father, Theon, was a mathematician. She dressed in the clothes of a scholar instead of women’s clothes and drove her own chariot. Hypatia was murdered in the streets of Alexandria by a Christian mob after being accused of witchcraft and godlessness. Her writings were destroyed when the Library of Alexandria was burned.
