"Sur la propogation de la lumiere dans un milieu cristallise", in the "Comptes Rendus de Seances de l'Academie des Sciences," Paris, 11 February 1884. vol 98, pp. 356-357, offered in the complete weekly issue, extracted from a larger bound volume. [++] This is the first edition in French published from the Swedish original, "Om ljusets fortplantning uti ett kristalliniskt medium" from Swenska Konigl. Veterskaps Akademiens Foerbandlingar, no. 2, published 13 Februari 1884, 5pp (text on pp 3-5, titlepage and verso are pp. 1-2).  This paper was actually published two days earlier in France than Stockholm, though the Stockholm issue is far more scarce. [++] Kowalevsky published "just 9 works [in the sciences]: 3 of pure mathematical nature and 6 on the mathematical applications to the problems of celestial mechanics (1 article), physics of crystals (2 articles), and classical mechanics of rigid body rotational motion (3 articles)"--from Dr. Elena N. Polyakhova, "150th Anniversary of Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891) her scientific legacy in Celestial Mechanics of equilibrium figures of fluid mass in axial rotation". [++] Moscow-born Sophie Kowalevsky (1850-91), mathematician/memoirist/novelist, did important work on PDE, analysis, mechanics, integrals, and Saturn's rings. She was the first woman in Europe in modern times to be appointed to a full professorship, and was the first woman to be an editor of a mathematics journal, and was the first woman to be awarded (the equivalent of) a doctorate. "Kovalevsky was the greatest woman mathematician prior to the twentieth century."--Complete DSB online. [++] Kovalevsky studied privately with Weierstrass, Kirchhoff, and von Helmholtz (as women were not allowed to attend classes at university), and received a degree (awarded a doctorate summa cum laude from the University of Göttingen) in absentia in 1874 for her thesis on partial differential equations, and won the Paris Academy Prize in 1888 for a paper on the integration of the equations of motion for a solid body rotating around a fixed point (the "Kowalevsky top"). In 1884 she became a professor of mathematics at Stockholm, first woman editor of a mathematics journal ("Acta Mathematica"), and in 1889 she finally was recognized by the committees in Stockholm and was granted a lifetime professorship there. [++] In all of this after her unsuccessful attempts to find work in academia culminated in professorial nothingness in 1874, she left the professional life and entered the family life, where she evidently abandoned math research until being called back to it in 1880! During 1881-1883 she left Russia again for Berlin and Paris for studies, returning to Russia in 1883 after the suicide death of her Darwin-supporting paleontologist husband. She gave an invited talk in that year to the Seventh Russian Naturalists Convention in Odessa on the refraction of light in crystals her first physics paper which was published in Swedish as "Omljusets fortplantning uti ett kristalliniskt medium" [the French version of the paper offered here].…
