Sophie Germain Research Paper

583 Words3 Pages

Sophie Germain is the person who I chose to do this biography because I truly admire her admiration for getting a education. Sophie Germain was born April 1, 1776 Sophie Germain was was born in Rue Saint-Denis, Paris, France she is known for elasticity theory, differential geometry, number theory, and Sophie Germain prime numbers. Sophie Germain parents were wealthy but never let her study or get a education because that wasnt meant for a woman to do back then, remember we are talking about many years ago where woman couldnt get an equal education than men did. Sophie had two sisters, Germain did not have a easy life in fact it was very diffcult. Her parents were very harsh when they found out that she was studying and trying to get a education …show more content…

Most of her life she spent at her house. Sophie was eighteen when a technical academy had open but she was not allowed to go in fact she filled out a application but got rejected because of her sex she she entered in many competitions but under a mens name so they wouldnt suspect it was a women competing. Imagine being put into the position Sophie was being put. Sophie Germain created a important theorem it is originally called the Fermats last theorem, without that theorem we wouldnt be able to create or solve things se now call math equations or there will simply be no explanation for it. Another thing that Sophie Germain has created that is an important thing that takes place now in the math world is the elasticity theory without that theorem we can not be able to solve certain things in life or like I said before there will be a gap of mysterys missing. Theres one more important thing Sophie Germain prime numbers it solved the odd numbers. The importance of this is very high in my opinion she has done so much we may not know her when we say or even mention her name is many

    In 1916, she became the first female magistrate in Canada and the British Empire. She was best known for her contributions to women’s rights and feminism, which was a big role back then because women were put into question if they were "persons" or not under the Canadian law.

    In conclusion to what has been said, if Emily Howard Stowe had not studied medicine and been put through a struggle for her education, she may not have had the courage to create the suffrage group and give us the rights and freedoms we do today. Emily Howard Stowe inspired other woman like Angus MacPhail, Nellie McClung, and Emily Murphy.
