A Russian Childhood by SOFYA KOVALEVSKAYA translated by BEATRICE STILLMAN abridged In six parts and read by Liane Aukin 1: Earliest Memories
Sofya Kovalevskaya was born in St Petersburg in 1850. Nurtured amid the protection and comfort of middle-class Tsarist Russia she became a pioneer and, with her remarkable and varied gifts, was one of the first women professors
(of mathematics) as well as a talented writer.
Here, in her evocative memoirs, she recalls her childhood.
