Our Background
The idea for the Hypatia Society was concieved when the founder, Julie Creech, was researching giftedness in adults and multiple aptitudes.
The original idea was based upon a lack of representation of women among known 'Universal Geniuses' (like DaVinci, Franklin etc..). In Fact the only woman acknowledged as a uviversal genius was Hypatia, a somewhat obscure and mysterious woman of ancient times.
Realizing that this clearly represented a lack of acknowledgement of both the importance of so called 'women's work' and the tendency of history to overlook contributions by women in the past, Ms. Creech decided to develop a forum for research and discussion of female 'Universal Genius' , both today and throughout history.
The original idea rapidly evolved with additional research and consideration to encompass all races and genders of historic, present and future 'Universal Geniuses' and potential UG's.
As of this point the Hypatia Society is still in the conception stage. We plan to eventually incorporate as a tax exempt nonprofit as soon as our organizational planning and structures are in place.
In the meantime we invite you to learn more about our enterprise, and yourself, throughout the various pages of information and many articles in our library of resources.
