Never have I seen a woman churn out such an immense volume of high-quality scholarly works in direct and vast contribution to one field of inquiry.

Not to mention she translated works for her teacher from Greek and Latin to pay him for her training. As many passages were of Islamic and Persian origin, she took up Arabic at university. She remained a steadfast and valuable collaborator of her teacher decades after his death, and until her own last days, interpreting over 65,000 dreams in the process. Such a behemoth.
