Notes

¹ In Jones's wider analysis of the receptivity of scientific societies to women's memberships, she unfortunately misinterprets her source regarding the Entomological Society of London and claims it denied women membership until 1904 (p. 199), but the society in fact elected women members much earlier, most notably Eleanor Ormerod, another gentlewoman, in 1878; see Dictionary of national biography.

² A useful starting point is the compilation by A E L Davis and John Fauvel of data on some 2500 women honours graduates in mathematics in the British Isles on deposit with the UK Data Archive at the University of Essex; see SN 3654: Mathematical Women in the British Isles, 1878–1940, available at <www.esds.ac.uk> (accessed 30/7/11).
