		Sofia was a strong willed youngster and there are stories of her resorting to her fists when she did not get her own way, this strong character would help her later in life as she faced many obstacles, not least the prejudices against women in society.
		While Sofia's learning was blossoming her sister was becoming acquainted with many young women in nihilist circles and was beginning to entertain ideas of a university education herself, even though she had not received the formal training necessary to embark on one.
		Sofia duly obliged and produced three dissertations for them of a standard so high that she was not required to defend them or to sit an exam, as was the usual procedure.

		Kovalevskaya studies Laplace's results in planetary rings stability and finds out that his conclusion about the elliptic shape of a rotating thorus-like ring cross-section is not enough exact and can be consider as the first order solution only.

	Kovalevskaya, Sofia (1850-1891) -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Scientific Biography
		In Heidelberg, Kovalevskaya received a special authorization to attend the lectures without being officially a student, since matriculation was not permitted for women.
		However, Weierstrass was unable to find Kovalevskaya an academic position because she was a woman, so she returned to Russia and settled in St. Petersburg, her husband's home town, upon completion of her doctorate.
		During the next six years she devoted herself entirely to her family (her daughter Fufa was born in 1878), to scientific journalism and to the promotion of women's right to higher education, while she completely neglected research.

		Tyrtov argued with Sofia's father that she should be encouraged to study mathematics further but it was everal years later that he permitted Sofia to take private lessons.
		The paper on the reduction of abelian integrals to simpler elliptic integrals is of less importance but it consisted of a skilled series of manipulations which showed her complete command of Weierstrass's theory.
		Kovalevskaya entered and, in 1886, was awarded the Prix Bordin for her paper Mémoire sur un cas particulier du problème de le rotation d'un corps pesant autour d'un point fixe, ou l'intégration s'effectue à l'aide des fonctions ultraelliptiques du temps.

		Sophia Kovalevskaya's life makes quite an extraordinary story - not only because she was an extremely able mathematician, but also because she fought for her right to study mathematics at a time when university studies were not available to women.
		Despite this doctorate and letters of strong recommendation from her teacher who himself was a famous mathematician, Kovalevskaya was unable to obtain an acadmic position for long time.
		In 1884 however she got a position at the University of Stockholm, and in June 1889 became the first woman since physicist Laura Bassi and Maria Gaetana Agnesi to hold a chair at a European university.

		Kovalevskaya had a crush on Fyodor Dostoevsky and practiced his favourite piano work, Ludwig van Beethovens Piano Sonata No. 8 (Beethoven), to get his attention, but he was focussed on the older sister Anna and he very probably proposed to her.

		I would like to react to Sofia’s writing in my journal and hand mine down with hers so that the future may be able to discern my sense of place through the same process that I can feel my distant relative, Sofia’s.
		This experience is, I think, what Sofia was trying to communicate in her journal and what I have learned by observing a similar structure on my own campus.
		Sofia is teaching me that there is definite value in preserving the past, but its value’s true nature isn’t always so easy to articulate.
