Childhood
Emilie was born into a rich lifestyle in Paris on December 17, 1706 and she was taught things that most women didn’t think of doing. She fought for the rights of women to have the right to talk to men about science and math ideas. Even though she lived in the 1700’s, Emilie was very dedicated to her knowledge of science although she was a famous scientist with many talents with many languages, her true love was math.
Adult Life
At the age of 19 Emilie married Marquis du Châtelet, but he was 34. It was only 2 years into their marriage when Emilie has a son and a daughter and when she was 27 she gave birth to another son. Emilie published the book Institutions de physique, but a rumor was started that her book was just about her lessons
In her twenties Clara decided to expand her education further by attending the Clinton Liberal institute for higher learning. There she studied analytic geometry, calculus, astronomy, mathematics and natural science in addition to French, German, ancient history, philosophy and religion (Pryor 1987). With her highly atypical education for a woman of that time, Clara continued the close pupil-teacher relationships she had enjoyed in her earlier schooling.
"Of the mathematics,--brushed with extreme flounce/ The circle of the sciences, because/ She misliked women who are frivolous" (404-407). Her aunt considered the learning of mathematics and science a waste of time because a woman would have no chance to use them. She withheld any reading that were considered improper. In effect Aurora Leigh was taught "A general insight into useful facts" 413). Therefore a woman was taught enough facts that could prove useful in conversation. She was not taught to think deeply and explore ideas for herself.
Of all people, Marie Brose Tepe deserves the Eagle Award because of her bravery and patriotism. Marie was a vivandiere, joined the 27th and the 114th Pennsylvania infantry , and fought in The Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, for the Union troops, during the Civil War. When fighting on the battlefield against the Confederacy, she healed many wounded soldiers which were nearly within range of enemy fire. Nothing would stop her from helping others, not even a bullet stuck in her ankle.
Many women have achieved in the mathematics field since the 1900’s. Especially women of color. No matter how young or old, these women have taken their careers in mathematics to an inspiring degree. Take the following women as examples, for they have created history in mathematics forever.
Emma Roskilly began as a humble Girl in a shack somewhere in Italy. Her family was known to participate in less than legal activities which left little room for this new soul to be able to make decisions which would be thought of us right, in modern society.
Lilli’s 17-year-old sister, Lucy Blue, snoops around and finds her old journals hidden under the floorboards in the attic.

Amalie Emmy Noether was born in the small university city of Erlangen in Germany on March 23, 1882.Emmy was the average girl of her time mainly just helping with cooking and running the house but she was really into dancing. She also enjoyed doing math but in her time she couldn’t do what he follow her father’s footsteps on becoming a university academic. After passing high school she went to Municipal School for more Education of Daughters in Erlangen she studied to become a school teacher. She decided to leave teaching and applied to University of Erlangen to observe mathematics lectures there. So she could get more teaching on math.In 1904 Emmy was excited to know that her hometown university, Erlangen, had decided women should be permitted

Pouring her time into each book as she had taught herself Latin and Greek, allowing her to read other famous mathematicians work such as Isaac Newton.
Sophie Germain was a famous French mathematician. She was born on April 1, 1776 in Paris, France to very wealthy parents. Although her family was wealthy, they never allowed Sophie to study or receive an education. At that time, educating women was frowned upon and perceived as “dangerous”. Despite these beliefs, Sophie was determined to teach herself mathematics(Agnes Scott) . She did this by secretly reading math books in the night from her father’s library. Eventually, Sophie’s parents realized she would never give up on learning and finally allowed her to receive an education with the help of a tutor. Later on, at the age of 18, she was able to enroll in an academy of science and mathematics. She especially

Would you consider decora girls and decora boys to be “others or outsiders” in society? This form of dress is obviously in its own category when it comes down to who is who. Decora is essentially flashy clothing and an insane amount of accessories.

People like this clearly want to stand out think everybody needs to see them for who they are. I mean how can you miss a decora boy or girl in a city full of people you have seen for years?
