A Conversation for Hypatia of Alexandria

A great article. Well done. Make this an Official Entry NOW. 
The more I learn of history, the more I think that what's omitted is more important than what's included. 
Thus women are ignored. The poor are ignored in favour of the 'rich and powerful'. Non-white people are ignored (at least in the schooling I received in Great Britain in the '60s and '70s). I imagine there are many other groups who've been excluded, but I haven't noticed them yet.
Perhaps history should spawn a new sub-discipline: Forgotten Heroes (and heroines, of course!)
