#OnThisDay in #history - Anna Maria von Schurman died in 1678 at the age of 70.
A consummate scholar, Anna Maria was the first woman allowed to study at the University of Utrecht and because of her known scholarship was invited to compose a poem to present at its opening. She attended lectures behind a screen so that male students couldn't see her.
An ardent defender of education for women, she built a correspondence network of learned women and published books.
