Profession?

The article describes various findings of Alicia Boole Stott in geometry. Yet the opening paragraph describes her primarily in terms of her family (father and husband), as though a major achievement of her life was marrying an actuary. This does not seem to do justice to her. Was she a professional mathematician? If so, this should be written in the first sentence. -- Zvika ( talk) 11:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Discovery

It should also be made clear the independence of her discovery of the six regular polytopes in four dimensions, i.e. how it relates historically to Schläfli's work. 212.49.200.37 ( talk) 15:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC) reply

That can't be right

"Alicia Stott sent him photographs of herself because she was pretty" ?? I really doubt that. Is this something she wrote, or is it heresay, or just made up? Rybu ( talk) 04:42, 24 February 2009 (UTC) reply

What?

It says "she made contributions to the field she was in." What field was she in? 108.243.152.221 ( talk) 00:01, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
