There is more than I thoughtThere is more than I thought in extent material on Hypatia, as related in the show. This was helpful and enlightening. I feel differently than I did even last year. I don't know if that is age or learning, or both. Juana Inés de la Cruz was a revelation. This is appreciation, if not wisdom. An auspicious start to what is shaping up to be an essential series in shaping my views on gender and philosophy. I don't think Hypatia's martyrdom is due to her gender, which is a more profound thought for later times.
