The Tenth Muse by Catherine Chung
5.0
The world is sleeping on this book.
I must admit that the premise of this book, historical fiction and mathematical theory, intimidated me but I'm so glad I read it anyway. What an incredible tale of a mathematical genius woman of colour, navigating fraught family and professional relationships at a time when most universities did not accept women into their institutions. My description doesn't do this book justice- it was so good, I couldn't put it down.
