Maria Ardinghelli

Maria Angela Ardinghelli (1730–1825) was an Italian translator, mathematician, physicist and noble, mostly known as the Italian translator of the works of Stephen Hales, a Newtonian physiologist. She translated two of his works; Haemastaticks and Vegetable Staticks. Aside from Ardinghelli’s historical invisibility, she managed to remain relevant without being shunned into social isolation or derision by sharing her works with specific audiences.
