Hypatia was one accomplished woman! She was a woman who was respected in the ancient world, a proponent of Neoplatonism. She is also, perhaps, science’s only martyr, having been murdered with bits of broken pottery and roofing tiles in a church. This quote sums up her views of learning quite nicely and are an inspiration to us over a thousand years later.

This is a great design for anyone who engages in critical thinking, believes in true freedom of thought (doesn’t get offended because someone doesn’t agree with them), or is looking for feminist role models. Also great for librarians or anyone who wants to inspire others.
