Sofia Kovalevskaya was a brilliant and determined young Russian
woman of the 19th century who wanted to become a mathematician and
who succeeded, in often difficult circumstances, in becoming
arguably the first woman to have a professional university career
in the way we understand it today. This memoir, written by a
mathematician who specialises in symplectic geometry and integrable
systems, is a personal exploration of the life, the writings and
the mathematical achievements of a remarkable woman. It emphasises
the originality of Kovalevskaya's work and assesses her legacy and
reputation as a mathematician and scientist. Her ideas are
explained in a way that is accessible to a general audience, with
diagrams, marginal notes and commentary to help explain the
mathematical concepts and provide context. This fascinating book,
which also examines Kovalevskaya's love of literature, will be of
interest to historians looking for a treatment of the mathematics,
and those doing feminist or gender studies.
