The above reference has a recent publication date.
I would be careful and check the integrity of references for women in
mathematics history. For example, the above reference has continued to
spell the name of my favorite mathematics pedagogue, Mary Everest Boole,
as Mary Everet Boole. I even mentioned this to the author two years
ago. There is also a recent book dedicated to woman mathematicians
published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that
includes a very inaccurate piece on Hypatia.
