Hypatia

This is Hypatia who was a teacher and scientist at the Library of Alexandra in about 400AD. To me, she is the most important woman in history that is hardly ever talked about. All she wanted to do was research and teach. She was considered a pagan and pulled from her carriage while going to work, brutilized and killed by a Christian mob. The orders came from Cyril, the archbishop. He was made a saint.
