Women In Math Mary Fairfax Somerville Mary Fairfax Somerville was one of Britain's most remarkable women scientists. She began her life as a typical girl in Scottish high society, yet she had mathematical interests and talents that distinguished her. Despite her lack of formal training she managed to produce some great mathematical and physical works right until her death at age 98. She was born to Lt. George Fairfax and Margaret Fairfax in 1780 in Scotland. Her childhood was spent exploring the seaside of her hometown of Burntisland. Her early education consisted of domestic chores and reading of the Bible. By adolescence, this extended to an unpleasant stay at a girls' boarding school where she learned basic reading and writing. This was enough to pique her intellectual interests and so at the age of thirteen she taught herself enough Latin to read Caesar's Commentaries . An algebra problem in a women's fashion magazine introduced her to mathematics. She was curious what the symbols meant. Since it was improper for a lady to ask for a mathematical book in a bookshop, she had to secretly ask her brother's tutor to buy her a copy of Euclid's Elements In 1804 she married one of her cousins, Captain Samuel Greig. He frowned upon intellectual women, but did not stop her studies. She had two sons with him before he died in 1807.

65. National Portrait Gallery | Research | Art Of The Picture Frame | Martha Somervi mary somerville s portrait, a chalk drawing by James Swinton dated 1848, The portrait of mary somerville hanging in the galleries in its original frame http://www.npg.org.uk/live/frsomer.asp

You are in National Portrait Gallery Research Art of the Picture Frame A frame by Martha Somerville, a Victorian carver in Italy This is the sad story of the fate of an exceptionally elaborate picture frame, carved by the daughter of the celebrated scientific writer, Mary Somerville. It is a story of the perennial problem faced by curators: fitting an exceptional frame, designed for another setting or circumstance, into a museum display. Mary Somerville's portrait, a chalk drawing by James Swinton dated 1848, today hangs at Bodelwyddan Castle in Wales, one of the National Portrait Gallery's regional partnerships, in a plain flat gilt frame with sanded sides and rosette corners. The Gallery records reveal that this frame was fitted to the picture on 19 March 1896 by Francis Draper, then the Gallery's framemaker. But when the picture came to the Gallery in 1883, as the result of a bequest by Mary Somerville's daughter, Miss Martha Charters Somerville, it was housed in a 'richly carved brown wooden oval frame', as it was described in the 1888 NPG catalogue. The frame can just be made out in a photograph of the NPG collection hanging at the South Kensington Museum in 1885 (see reproduction). The portrait of Mary Somerville hanging in the galleries in its original frame in 1885 This frame must have been about 12 or 13 ins wide compared to the oval drawing's 27 x 24ins. Before the portrait was accepted, George Scharf, the Gallery's Director, wrote to Sir William Ramsay Fairfax, Martha Somerville's executor: 'I have heard incidentally that the carved frame is massive and elaborate and possibly in excess of what the Trustees might deem suitable among the other frames in the Collection. I therefore venture to ask you in strict confidence whether you would like to retain the frame for yourself ..... Of course if the frame has any special emblems on it, the Trustees would not desire even to suggest a separation ...' To which Sir William responded, 'the frame was carved expressly for the picture by ... Miss Somerville, and is beautifully done ... I think, besides, that the picture would be poor looking without it'.

@import url("/style.css"); Somerville College Skip to Content The College Prospective Students Current Students Former Students Conferences ... Site Map The College Somerville is a college for women and men. It was founded (as Somerville Hall) in 1879 to provide an opportunity for women, who at that date were excluded from membership of the University, to gain some kind of higher education in Oxford. The founders' insistence that students should be subjected to no religious tests or obligations marked Somerville off from its Anglican counterpart, Lady Margaret Hall, and set the tone of cultural diversity which has characterised the college to this day. The choice of name for the new foundation was also significant. Mary Somerville (1780 1872), a twice-married Scot whose international reputation as a scientist was gained in the intervals of raising a family of five children, provided students with a formidable role model. Her family allowed the new Hall to adopt their arms and motto (the notoriously untranslatable "Donec rursus impleat orbem"), and over the years presented it with many family mementoes, including a number of Mary Somerville's own paintings. Membership of the University did not bring instant acceptance. Women remained debarred from many university clubs and societies (including the Union) for many years to come; their colleges were not recognised as full colleges of the university until 1959; and it was only in the 1970s (when the men's colleges began to go mixed) that they were allowed to play a full part in university administration. In the many intervening battles for equality, Somerville played a leading role: in 1936 it was the first Oxford college to grant maternity leave, and in 1950 the first to seek self-government. Meanwhile, in the wider world, its alumnae were breaking new ground in opening up careers for women in such fields as politics, the civil service, broadcasting, journalism, commerce, and law.

Sitzungszimmer Mary Sommerville: Mary Somerville ( 1804, im Alter von 24 Jahren heiratete sie ihren Cousin Samuel Greig. Nur drei Jahre später starb ihr Mann, hinterliess aber Mary und den zwei Söhnen ein gutes Auskommen. Der Tod ihres Mannes gab ihr Möglichkeit sich intensiv ihrem Selbststudium widmen zu können. Sie brachte sich Mathematik bei, las Newtons "Principia", ein Buch, das die Basis zu einer mathematischen Beschreibung der physischen Welt legte, und lernte Latein und Griechisch. Die dazu notwendigen Bücher konnte sie sich aus ihrem naturwissenschaftlich interessierten Freundeskreis besorgen lassen. Der Zutritt zu öffentlichen Bibliotheken war für Frauen nicht möglich. Zusammen mit ihrem Mann legte sie eine Mineraliensammlung an, beschäftigte sich mit Geologie, Botanik, Meteorologie und einer astronomischen Datierung von altägyptischen Papyrusrollen. Dazu verfasste sie in den verschiedenen Gebieten wissenschaftliche Schriften. Ein weiteres Buch "Relation of physical sciences" fasste das damalige Wissen über Astronomie, Mechanik, Magnetismus, Elektrizität, Wärme und Schall zusammen und erlebte 10 Auflagen im Englischen. Es wurde in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt. Andere, äusserst populäre Werke, die die aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Strömungen darstellten und erläuterten, folgten. Mehrere avancierten zum Standard der damaligen Wissenschaft. Infolgedessen wurde Somerville Ehrenmitglied vieler Akademien und mit Preisen überschüttet.

Full Timeline Fribbling Reports The Somerville Plot and the end of Arden In the heightened paranoia of 1583, even a careless word uttered within earshot of a State employee could have dire consequences. On October 25th, John Somerville from the village of Edstone, near Stratford , and son-in-law to Edward Arden , head of the old Catholic Robert Dudley , now Earl of Leicester - this very public indiscretion is all the excuse they need to destroy him and his Catholic allies. Arden has close family links with the Throgmorton family - another great Catholic family, headed by Francis Throgmorton who Walsingham 's spies suspect of being complicit in a plot against the State. Interior of The Tower of London For the State it is too good an opportunity to miss. On October 31st an armed raid is conducted on Arden's home. Somerville is taken directly to the Tower of London , while Arden is indicted at Warwick. Raids continue throughout Warwickshire on notable Catholic families in an attempt to unearth evidence of a wider plot or at least an incriminating evidential connection between Somerville, Arden and Throgmorton. Arden's priest, disguised as his gardener, is also arrested. Francis Throgmorton is accused of plotting on behalf of Mary Queen of Scots and placed in a torture chamber. Soon Arden's wife Mary and their daughter Margaret will join Somerville and Throgmorten's brother in the Tower.

arXiv: physics/0001026 v1 12 Jan 2000 Innovators or Interpreters? The Historic Role of Women in Science Gina Hamilton, Ph.D. University of Southern Maine (Southworth Planetarium) Email: ginah@usm.maine.edu Abstract Until this century, the number of working female scientists has been indeterminate. Prevailing wisdom indicates that women, historically, have not excelled in the mathematics and sciences, for various reasons. These range from societal pressures to marry and bear children, to a lack of systematic scientific education for females, to the lack of opportunity in institutions and industry. Women, until comparatively recently, were not in control of their own financial lives, and were therefore dependent upon the goodwill of a husband, father or brother, should they attempt to enter academic life. Many times, their accomplishments, and the accomplishments of these collaborating relatives, become so merged as to become indistinguishable. Nevertheless, with all these factors working against them, history records an occasional bright star. Their diaries, memoirs and correspondence detail both the similarities and the differences between their roles and the roles of modern female scientists, in their own minds, and in the estimation of those closest to them.
