Philosophy and Fun of Mary Everest Boole

Links

Here are some other online resorces about Mary! Please note that places to read Mary's own work online are listed separately, over on the Works page.

Wikipedia page - (I bet Mary would have spent a lot of time on Wikipedia if it had been invented by 1916)

Biography at MacTutor - Biography with links, bibliography, and writing extracts - including the full text of Mary's correspondence with Darwin!

Profile hosted by St. Agnes College - Short bio with references; includes a linked image of the extremely weird Garfield cartoon that pays tribute (?) to Mary

Essay by Sydney Birbrower on Medium - Fun, funny bio that seems to be super well-researched and has some great tidbits I hadn't read elsewhere online!

String Art Magic by Rain Blanken - The author of this string art how-to traced the history of her craft back to Mary's curve stitching, and apparently interviewed a great-granddaughter of the Booles to include a section on Mary. Wow, neat! I just ordered my copy! (from a local bookstore tho tbh I hate amazon)

Darwin Correspondence Project page - Short blurb on Mary, with links to Cambridge University Library's fancy officially citable transcriptions of the letters between her and Darwin

Collected Works Review - In 1931, Mary's collected works were published in a four-volume edition. Dorothy Maud Wrinch's review of the collection for the Mathematical Gazette is a great descriptive summary of Mary's work, and a snapshot of how it was received in the decades following her death.
