Famous Women right at the top of mathematics:
Ada Lovelace the daughter of the poet Lord Byron, is often considered the world’s first computer programmer. Her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, an early mechanical general-purpose computer, was groundbreaking.
Dorothy Vaughan was an American mathematician and one of the first African-American women to work as a supervisor at NASA. She made significant contributions to the space programme, particularly in the early use of electronic computers.
Mary Cartwright was a British mathematician who made significant contributions to the study of non-linear differential equations and chaos theory. She was one of the first to recognise the chaotic behaviour in certain mathematical systems.
Maryam Mirzakhani was an Iranian mathematician and the first woman to win the prestigious Fields Medal, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of mathematics. Her work focused on the geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces.
Shakuntala Devi known as the "Human Computer," was an Indian mathematician and writer who gained fame for her extraordinary mental calculation abilities. She demonstrated complex arithmetic abilities at a young age and became an international sensation for her mathematical prowess.
The list goes on @MellowRubyDreamer luckily for us, these women never gave up!
