Lines from Enheduanna (2285-2250 BCE

The true woman who possesses exceeding wisdom,
     She consults a tablet of lapis lazuli,
     She gives advice to all lands,
     She measures off the heavens, she places the
               measuring cords on the earth.

Enheduanna (2285-2250 BCE), the earliest woman known to me who was both poet and mathematician
