Observacions i context

- Sophia was self-taught with the help of her brother Tycho. She faced her family, who did not accept that high-society members did anything else in their life other than idleness.

- Some important astronomers previous to Sophia Brahe are Enheduanna (c. 2285 BC – c. 2250 BC) who is considered the first astronomer in history, Aglaonice of Thessaly (c.500 BC – c. 400 BC), Theano of Crotone (c.546 BC – c. 450 BC), Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 370 – c. 416), Fátima de Madrid (c. 900 – c. 1100) and Anna Komnene (1083-1153).

- Other relevant scientists of the 17th century that can be highlighted are Caterina Vitale (pharmacist and chemist), Maria Cunitz (astronomer), Martine Bertereau (specialist in mine engineering and mineralogist), Margaret Cavendish (a prolific writer who wrote 10 natural philosophy books, now physics), Marie Crous (mathematician), Marie Meurdrac (chemist), Elisabeth Hevelius (astronomer), Jeanne Dumée (astronomer), Maria Margarethe Winckelmann-Kirch (astronomer), Maria Sibylla Merian (entomologist, naturalist, explorer, science illustrator and painter), and Maria Clara Eimmart (astronomer).
