The first woman to receive a university or college degree anywhere in the world was Elena Lucrezia Cornaro who was awarded a doctorate in philosophy by the University of Padua, Italy, in 1678. (She originally applied for a doctorate in theology but the Roman Catholic Church intervened saying that was a 'no-no'). As far as I know, no other woman was awarded a degree till 1732, when the University of Bologna (also in Italy) awarded a doctorate in philosophy to Laura Bassi Verati. The following year the University of Wittenberg, in Germany, crowned Christiane Marianne von Ziegler a poet. That's not the same thing as a degree, but nonetheless it was a real achievement ... Yes, there was a ceremony where they actually put a laurel wreath on her head. :)
