I was born on April 1st 1776 in Paris, France.
I am the 2nd oldest of three girls.
I was born to the parents Ambroise-Francois Germain
& Marie-Madeleine Gruguelu. My two sisters names were Marie-Madeleine
& Angelique-Ambroise. I went by simply Sophie to keep from confusing with
the other Maries in the house. I was isolated from the French turmoil, therefore I
was locked in the house with books. So that is what I did.
I Began my Mathematical interest at the age of 13.
Being that Archimedes Died for mathematics I admired
him and wanted to see what he loved so much.
My parents tried all kinds of things to stop me from learning
about mathematics but, they found that they could not stop
me from learning. Finally they just gave in and let me learn.

I saw your name and read a little, I loved your story and what you went thourgh for math. I am also the middle child and I love math. You now inspire me and I wish you were still alive today I wouldwrite to you at least twice a week and see you at least once a day.
