This abuse has gone on far too long.
MEN feared her intelligence..
That’s why they pulled her from her carriage, took her clothes and k*lled her in a very cruel way.
Alexandria – one of the first mathematicians. philosophers & astronomers in history, She taught publicly in a time when women were meant to stay silent.
Hypatia advised the powerful governor Orestes and lectured students from all over the world.
An unmarried woman with influence and brilliance – for many men, an outrage.
In the year 415, she was attacked by a Christian mob.
They dragged her into a church and k*lled her brutally with sharp pieces of pottery or shells.
Then her bOdy was tOrn apart and burned.
Hypatia was silenced –
but her voice lives on in us. Women with knowledge, courage & strength will never be silenced again.
