Review text

The mathematician Sofja Kowaleskaja (1850--1891) and the chemist Julia Lermontowa (1847--1919) were close friends; both were from Moscow. The article describes how each managed to obtain a doctorate in her respective field (both in 1874, from the Univ. of Göttingen) in spite of manifold human and bureaucratic obstacles. Appropriate references are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00012].
