Geometers
In the Western visual canon, depictions of women geometers reveal a fascinating iconographic tradition. From Renaissance studio paintings to Pre-Raphaelite symbolism, we find female mathematicians depicted with platonic solids, their contemplative poses echoing saints and muses. Though their geometric principles were long absorbed into masculine intellectual lineages, recent scholarly excavations are recovering these buried authorships, restoring names and crediting theorems to the women who first discovered them.
