Most researchers on the History of Science, as well as historians trying to popularize Mathematics among wide audiences tend to believe that Hipatia of Alexandria (century IV B.C.) is the first woman to have been a fist-rate mathematician in the ancient world. However, the authors of this paper remind the figure of three women living in earlier times than those of Hipatia, who could well deserve an analogous consideration as forerunners of female mathematics, namely Enheduanna (century XXV B.C.), Theano of Croto (century VI B.C.) and Aglaonike (century III B.C.)
