The Greek mathematician and philosopher has vanished from history
because she was a woman. Natalie reveals the evidence of her
brilliance in 4th century Alexandria and openly envies her
philosopher's cloak. Islam Issa and Adam Rutherford join to tell
her story.

'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author
of Divine Might, Stone Blind, A Thousand Ships and No Friend to
This House as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit
obsessive about ancient Greece and Rome.

Islam Issa is Professor of Public Humanities at Birmingham City
University. His book Alexandria: The City that Changed the World
is the Winner of the Runciman Award and The Times, Sunday Times,
TLS, Booklist, Epoch Times and Waterstones Book of the Year.

Dr Adam Rutherford is a scientist, writer and broadcaster. He's a
Lecturer in Biology and Society at UCL.
