- Philippa Garrett Fawcett (4 April 1868 - 10 June 1948) was an English mathematician and educationalist. She was the daughter of Millicent Fawcett, the suffragist, and of Henry Fawcett MP, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge and Postmaster General in Gladstone's government. Her aunt was Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first English woman doctor. Fawcett was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge which had been co-founded by her mother. In 1890, Fawcett was the first woman to obtain the top score in the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos exams. The results were always highly publicized, with the top scorers receiving great acclaim. Her score was 13% more than the second highest score; however, she did not receive the title of senior wrangler, as only men were then ranked, with women given a separate mention. Women had been allowed to take the Tripos since 1881 after Charlotte Angas Scott unofficially ranked as eighth wrangler. When the women were announced, Fawcett was described as "above the senior wrangler". Coming amidst the women's suffrage movement, Fawcett's feat gathered worldwide media coverage, spurring much discussion about women's rights. She worked from 1902-5 setting up schools in South Africa before returning to England to take a position in the administration of education in the London County Council.
- Philippa Fawcett war eine britische Mathematikerin und Schulreformerin.
- Philippa Garrett Fawcett était une mathématicienne et une spécialiste de la théorie de l'éducation de nationalité britannique. Elle était la fille de la suffragette Millicent Fawcett et de Henry Fawcett, Professeur d'économie politique à l'Université de Cambridge et Membre du Parlement. Sa tante était Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, la première doctoresse en physique anglaise. Philippa a fait ses études au Newnham College à Cambridge et a été en 1890 la première femme major de promotion en mathématiques à Cambridge. Mais comme seuls les hommes étaient promus à cette époque, elle n'obtint pas le titre de senior wrangler réservé à l'étudiant le plus brillant en mathématiques. Pendant plusieurs années elle a travaillé en Afrique du Sud pour y établir des écoles avant de retourner en Angleterre pour occuper un poste dans l'administration de l'éducation au London County Council.
