Top Women in Maths History: Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891)
A Russian mathematician who was forced to move countries to escape her parents oppression and go onto further education. Kovalevskaya's parents were against her advanced study and she was in a time where Russian universities were not yet admitting women, so she married for convenience and moved to Germany.
She eventually ended up in Sweden and continued her studies of maths, which resulted in the Koalevskaya Top and Cauchy-Kovalevskaya Theorem.
