Sophie Germain

d. 6-27-1831; breast cancer
Sophie Germain was a French mathematician who became friends with Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Sophie Germain quote ~
• “In describing the honourable mission I charged him with, M. Pernety informed me that he made my name known to you. This leads me to confess that I am not as completely unknown to you as you might believe, but that fearing the ridicule attached to a female scientist, I have previously taken the name of M. LeBlanc in communicating to you those notes that, no doubt, do not deserve the indulgence with which you have responded.”
