The Spanish Wikipedia makes her significance clear, though I have not been able to translate everything, as I do not speak Spanish. She is treated in encyplopedias about famous women and are regarded as an important figure in 18th-century Spain, were there were no other female scientists at that time - they were rare in all Europe at that time. Also rare for a female, was that the works she published was used by schools in Spain at that point. Her work were apparently also unique as the only scientific work of a 18th-century Spanish scientist preserved - I do hope I translated that part correctly. The article should be expanded, yes, but I believed it is notable. A contemporary female mathematician who wrote schoolbooks in science may not have been relevant, but for the 18th-century, she is. This was very rare; for the time, and particularly for the place. --Aciram (talk) 23:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
