Remembering Dr. Maryam Mirzakhani on #WorldCancerDay. Dr. Mirzakhani was first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in #mathematics. She died in 2017 from #breastcancer at the age of 40. stanford.io/2C0io2A #WomenInSTEM

A vibrant, composite portrait of the brilliant Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017), the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view, facing the camera with a gentle, thoughtful expression—short brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a calm smile. She wears a navy blue fleece over a teal/green collared shirt. Overlaid transparently behind and around her is a dense blackboard filled with intricate handwritten mathematical equations in white chalk, featuring complex expressions involving binomial coefficients (e.g., n! / (k!(n-k)!)), factorials, summations, powers, and terms suggestive of hypergeometric series or combinatorial identities. The equations partially surround and frame her face, symbolizing her deep immersion in advanced mathematics, particularly in hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and dynamical systems, while evoking the creative, exploratory nature of her work as a Stanford professor and groundbreaking researcher.

Then God said, “And behold, when the fourth seal was opened, there arose four upon the crest of the storm: pipes skirling doom, bellows wheezing famine, strings twanging conquest, drum thundering regret. Power given to afflict the earth with cursed reel forever.”

A stylized illustration shows four wide-eyed, cartoon-like musicians seated on curling, wave-shaped ground beneath a dramatic, cloudy sky. From left to right: one plays a stringed instrument resembling a mandolin, another stands playing bagpipes while wearing a kilt and top hat, the third plays an accordion, and the fourth beats a hand drum. The landscape around them twists into dark, spiraling shapes, giving a surreal, ominous feel despite the whimsical character designs. At the bottom of the image, decorative text reads: “The Four Musicians of the Apocalypse.” BY UNKNOWN CARTOONIST

Naomi Parker-Fraley died #OTD in 2018 at age 96. At 90, she learned she was the inspiration for "Rosie the Riveter," a cultural icon symbolizing the millions of American women who worked in factories & shipyards during #WWII.

A side-by-side comparison image highlighting the iconic "Rosie the Riveter" symbol. On the left is the famous 1943 World War II motivational poster by J. Howard Miller titled "We Can Do It!" featuring a determined young woman in a blue work shirt with rolled-up sleeves, flexing her right arm to show her bicep, wearing a red polka-dot bandana tied around her head, and a determined expression. She is set against a bright yellow background with a bold blue speech bubble overhead containing the white text "We Can Do It!" in capital letters. On the right is a color portrait of Naomi Parker Fraley taken later in her life. She has white/gray hair partially covered by a red polka-dot bandana tied in the classic Rosie style, fair skin, red lipstick, and a thoughtful, gentle expression. She rests her chin on her right hand (with curled fingers), while her left arm is bent in a supportive pose beneath it, wearing a solid blue shirt or jacket that echoes the poster's workwear. The background is a warm solid yellow, creating a direct visual parallel to the poster on the left. This split layout powerfully connects the historical illustration to the actual woman whose 1942 wartime photograph inspired it, symbolizing strength, resilience, and the legacy of women in the workforce during World War II.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

The Venus of Brassempouy (or Lady of Brassempouy) is one of the earliest representations of the human face. It was sculpted in mammoth ivory about 25,000 years ago. It was discovered in a cave at Brassempouy, France in 1892.

Italian mathematician Maria Gaetana Agnesi died #OTD in 1799. She wrote the first book discussing both differential & integral calculus and was the first woman appointed as a mathematics professor at a university (University of Bologna). #WomenInSTEM #mathematics

Black-and-white historical engraving portrait of Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718–1799), the pioneering Italian mathematician and philosopher. She is depicted in bust view facing forward, with elaborately curled 18th-century hair styled high on her head and a long braid over one shoulder. She wears a formal gown with a wide fur-trimmed collar and puffed sleeves, conveying elegance and intellectual dignity against a soft, shaded background.

Title page of Volume I of "Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventù italiana" by D.na Maria Gaetana Agnesi, published in Milan in 1748. The ornate text in Italian announces the work by the Milanese member of the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna. Below the title is an engraved illustration of a classical architectural structure, possibly a temple or tower, flanked by trees in a landscape setting, with publication details at the bottom: "IN MILANO, MDCCXLVIII. NELLA REGIA-DUCAL CORTE. CON LICENZA DE' SUPERIORI."

In 1939, Jane Bolin became the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the US. Bolin was also the first Black woman to graduate from Yale Law School & to join the NYC Bar Association & the NYC Law Department. She died #OTD in 2007. #history #firsts #law

A black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Bolin, the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the United States. She is seated formally at a judge's bench, facing the camera with a calm and composed expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled and pulled back. She wears a short-sleeved, dark polka-dot dress with a V-neck collar. In her right hand, she holds a pen poised over a document on the desk, while her left arm rests beside it. A wooden gavel lies to her left on the bench. Behind her is a large, high-backed leather chair with studded trim, and the setting conveys the authority of a courtroom environment.

Today is the 81st anniversary of the death of Anne Frank's mother, Edith Holländer Frank, at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

A young woman stands in a black party dress with a solid bodice, ruffled skirt, and sheer sleeves before a dark background. She has wavy dark hair and dark eyes and is slightly smiling. The photo is sepia-toned.

#OTD in 1987, Aretha Franklin--the Queen of Soul--became the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. #legend #musichistory

A dramatic black-and-white photograph capturing soul legend Aretha Franklin in mid-performance. She is passionately singing into a handheld microphone held close to her open mouth, eyes closed and head tilted slightly upward in emotional intensity. Her voluminous, styled bouffant hairstyle frames her face, and she wears a glamorous feathered boa that adds texture and elegance. Strong spotlighting illuminates her against a completely dark background, creating a powerful, iconic portrait of the Queen of Soul lost in the music.

Italian neurobiologist Dr. Rita Levi-Montalcini died #OTD in 2012 at 103 (longest-lived Nobel winner ever) She shared the 1986 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of nerve growth factor, which fundamentally changed the understanding of how cells communicate & grow. #WomenInSTEM

Portrait of Rita Levi-Montalcini, an Italian neuroscientist and Nobel laureate, seated and smiling softly toward the camera. She has white hair styled in a classic, voluminous updo and wears a formal white high-neck blouse under a dark navy blazer. Two distinctive brooches adorn her blazer: a gold abstract pin on the left side and a delicate white lace-like triangular brooch on the right. Her face radiates warmth and quiet wisdom. She sits in a red chair against a blurred dark background, suggesting a formal indoor event or ceremony.

Scottish mathematician, astronomer & polymath Mary Somerville was born #OTD in 1780. #WomenInSTEM William Whewell coined the term "scientist" in a review of Somerville's book, 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴. Used as gender-neutral term as the common term at the time was "man of science."

An oil portrait painting of Mary Somerville, the renowned 19th-century Scottish mathematician, astronomer, and science writer, by Thomas Phillips (1834). She is depicted as a poised woman in her fifties, facing slightly to the left with a calm, intelligent expression. Her dark hair is elegantly styled, parted in the center and drawn up into intricate braids with soft ringlets framing each side of her face. She wears a formal dark blue or black off-the-shoulder gown with puffed sleeves, draped in a luxurious brown fur stole over her shoulders. A wide, elaborate white lace ruff collar frames her neck, and at the center of her chest is a prominent emerald-green brooch set in gold, fastened to the gathered fabric. The background is a dramatic, dark gradient with subtle warm highlights, employing chiaroscuro lighting to emphasize her serene face and the textures of lace, fur, and fabric, evoking a sense of dignified intellect and refinement typical of Regency-era portraiture.
