[ExI] Hypatia- a secular saint

[John Grigg]

I came across a FB link about Hypatia and it caused me to recall Carl
Sagan's comments about her in Cosmos.  I would say she is a "secular
saint" and in some ways was born many centuries too early (though she
was definitely needed in her own time).

A short but sweet overview of her life...
