This is Hyphatia

Hyphatia was born in Alexandria, Egypt between 350 and 370. She was a philosopher, astronomer, mathematican and an inventor. She was a very good teacher of these subjects.

Her father was a very well known mathematican, he was called Theon. He was the head of a very exclusive and conservative school. Her father wanted Hyphatia to be a perfect human being. He taught her Mahematics, Philosophy and Astronomy and he trained her in the art of the rethoric. 

She was a pagan, but she was very tolerant and she had a lot of Christian students. But there were a lot of christians who didn't like her ideas and she was murdered by some of them in a very  violent way. Her death socked the empire. The feminist movements have considered her as a martyr of the science.

In 2009, the spanish director Alejandro Amenábar made the film Agora about her life. 
She was a very intelligent and educated woman in that time.
