Grace Chisholm Young
March 15, 1868 - March 29, 1944 Grace Chisholm Young was born on March 15, 1868, near London, England. She was the youngest of three surviving children. Her father was Warden of the Standards in the British government, in charge of the department of weights and measures. Her brother was sent to grammar school, a prestigious boarding school, and then earned a top scholarship to Oxford, but in the custom of the times in England, Grace and her sister were taught at home by their mother and a governess. Her family encouraged her to become involved in social work among the London poor but Chisholm wanted to continue her studies. Her mother would not allow her to study medicine so she decided to study mathematics at Girton College, part of Cambridge University. Girton, opened in 1869, was the first school in England dedicated to educating women at the university level. Chisholm entered Girton in 1889 at the age of 21. Women could not earn formal degrees at Cambridge at that time, but in 1893 she passed her final examinations (Mathematics Tripos) and scored the equivalent of a first-class degree. Chisholm wanted to continue in mathematics but women were not yet admitted to graduate schools in England so she went to Gottingen in Germany to study with Felix Klein. This was one of the major mathematical centers in the world. The decision to admit her had to be approved by the Berlin Ministry of Culture. She earned the Ph.D. magna cum laude at the age of 27. Again government approval had to be obtained to allow her to take the examination. She thus became the first woman to officially receive a doctorate in any field in Germany. As Sylvia Wiegand writes in [5]

Grace Chisholm Young Mathematician Biography Project Group Ginnie Lintecum Tommy McDermott Thomas Willis December 1, 1999 Grace Chisholm Young contributed much to the areas of pure and applied mathematics. She was born Grace Chisholm, the youngest of three surviving children, on March 15, 1968 in Haslemere, Surrey, England, near London. Her Father was Henry William Chisholm who was a British career civil servant and who later became chief of Britain’s weights and measures. Grace was educated at home and her mother crushed her hopes of studying medicine, so she was led to the field of mathematics. She attended Griton College, part of Cambridge University in 1889 when she was twenty-one years old. At Griton she was the school’s Sir Francis Goldschmid Scholar of mathematics, and earned first-class degree honors. She sat informally for final mathematics examinations at Oxford, where her brother had earned a top scholarship, and placed first. At the time, in England, women were not admitted to graduate schools. Despite this, Grace Chisholm was determined to get a higher degree in Mathematics.

Grace Chisholm Young Grace Chisholm Young was born in Haslemere, England. Although her brother was sent to grammar school, a prestigious boarding school, where he could earn a top scholarship to Oxford, Grace and her sister were educated by a governess at home. In these times, this was the custom. Grace became involved in social work helping the poor in London. She had aspirations of studying medicine, but her family would not allow it. However, Grace wanted very much to continue her studies, so she entered Girton College, part of Cambridge University to study mathematics. Girton was the first school at the university level that was dedicated to educating women. In 1893, Grace passed her final examinations and scored the equivalent of a first-class degree. However, women were not awarded formal degrees at that time. In order to continue her studies, Grace had to go to Gottingen in Germany to study with Felix Klein. Women were not allowed to attend graduate school in England. Gottingen was one of the major mathematical centers in the world. Grace went on the attain the first woman to receive a doctorate in any field in Germany. While at Girton, Grace had a tutor by the name of William Young, whom she married the year after she received her Ph.D. at Gottingen. Grace and William spent the next 44 years together. They produced more than 200 mathematical papers and books, many of which were in William’s name. Grace had a very major role in producing these papers. William noted in an article in 1914 that he had discussed the major idea of the work with his wife, and Grace had elaborated on the argument and put it into publishable form. Grace produced many papers on her own despite the fact that her husband was away from the family for large parts of the year and she was left in Switzerland to take care of the children. She wrote a paper in 1915 on the foundations of calculus that won the Gamble Prize at Cambridge. She and her husband also published books on geometry and set theory.

Arrangement of the archive
The Young papers have been listed in the categories into which they had been sorted before their deposit in the University Archives in 1976. This organisation was preserved as adding a valuable extra dimension to the archive since it was the work of successive persons with detailed knowledge of the family and mathematical background. One of these organisers of the archive was the eldest daughter, Dr Cecily Tanner, who wrote a note explaining the background thus: "Both William Henry and Grace Chisholm Young had as their first love an interest in history and this included family history. William Henry Young particularly hoped that as it did for him, their own life and the upbringing of their children, as far as preserved letters might show, would give the next generation a conscious sense of their background in their own careers. Other papers were systematically destroyed because each successive home was to be a temporary one, and last no more than seven years at the outside, until in the later 1920s the idea of a return to England for permanent family residence was abandoned.

GRACE CHISHOLM YOUNG (1868-1944)
Nació en Inglaterra, durante la época victoriana. Su familia gozaba de una privilegiada situación y de una elevada educación. Su padre había tenido un prestigioso cargo en el Departamento de Pesas y Medidas del gobierno británico y la madre era una consumada pianista que, junto a su padre, daba recitales de violín y de piano. Era la más pequeña de cuatro hermanos, todos eran hombres menos ella. Solo le enseñaban lo que quería aprender que era cálculo mental y música, que le enseñaba su madre hasta los diez años. A los diecisiete pasó los exámenes de Cambridge, pero no le dejaron seguir estudiando por ser mujer. Más tarde a los veintiún años decidió continuar estudiando. Escribió Primer libro de Geometría en el que opinaba sobre el interés que tenía enseñar geometría utilizando cuerpos geométricos en tres dimensiones. Quería estudiar medicina pero su madre no aprobó esa elección, por lo que con el apoyo de su padre comenzó a estudiar matemáticas. Entró en la universidad de Cambridge. Tuvo dificultades para asistir a clases de Arthur Cayley (1821-1895) pero obtuvo allí su licenciatura. Para proseguir su carrera como matemática debió abandonar su país, pues en él aún no era posible que una mujer se doctorase, e ir a Göttingen. Grace consiguió doctorarse, la podemos considerar como la primera mujer que consiguió doctorarse en matemáticas de una forma

The young Grace loved to follow her "important" father around, helping him with his carpentry and visiting the British Department of Weights and Measures where he was head. She was one of the first female undergraduates admitted to Cambridge, although, at that time, women were still not receiving formal degrees. Grace Young and her husband did much of their mathematical research together ... while Grace took care of him as well as their six children.
