Hypatia was a woman … not a man. She lived around 360 A.D. to 415 A.D., in the city of Alexandria, Egypt. Although women were neither respected nor considered even worthy of an education, her father educated her. Like her father, she became a curator of the Great Library of Alexandria. Hypatia was recognized to be one of the greatest of female teachers, mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers of her time.
