*Marília Chaves Peixoto (1921-1961)
<http://www.abc.org.br/membro/marilia-chaves-peixoto/>** was a Brazilian
mathematician and engineer who worked in the field of Dynamical Systems.
She was the first Brazilian woman to receive a doctorate in mathematics.
Her works on convex functions had international repercussions and, in
1951, Marília joined to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, being the first
Brazilian woman to be a member of that institution. She died prematurely on
January 5, 1961, at the age of 39.*
