Sophie German
A time when women did not have the right to education, Sophie was tutored by a mathematician and even learned Greek and Latin. He used the identity of a withdrawn student to attend classes. She is the first woman to receive a prize at the Paris Academy of Sciences for research in the theory of elasticity.

She was a German revolutionary student and a member of the White Rose resistance group in Nazi Germany, who worked against Hitler's regime.

Sophie Germain was indeed a remarkable figure in the history of mathematics, especially during a time when women faced significant barriers in education. She self-taught herself mathematics and languages, such as Greek and Latin, to read the works of the great mathematicians of her time.
