Today we are discussing Hypatia of Alexandria, a female philosopher from 370 AD who was a teacher of astronomy, mathematics and philosophy, and who influenced many important people of her time. However, because of her public speeches, her believes and probably because of her intellect, she experienced a violent and totally unnecessary death. She reminds us that sexism is very very very old, coming from a long line of men, like Aristotle, perpetuating the thought that women are of less worth than men. What they didn't realize though was that women persevere and we're slowly but surely worming our ways back into all corners of society, academia and the economy. We hope you enjoy this episode! Happy listening!
