I looked for women mathematicians, and Margarethe Kahn seemed interesting to me, as she was one of the first women in Germany to get a doctorate, and she was a Holocaust survivor.

Evaluate the article
The topic that drew me to this article was this woman's area of study, Algebraic Curves. She was one of the first women in Germany to get a doctorate, and her dissertation was on this subject, however the article only mentions that this was her area of study. It describes every other aspect of her life, however never explains how she impacted her area of study, if at all. The article also frequently calls Margarethe a "Jew", where it should refer to her as a "Jewish person" at least. It ends with the fact that she was deported and has been missing since, something that I personally found interesting.
