Why Is Sonja Lyttkens Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Sonja Lyttkens was a Swedish mathematician, the third woman to earn a mathematics doctorate in Sweden and the first of these women to obtain a permanent university position in mathematics. She is also known for her work to make academia less hostile to women, and for pointing out that the Swedish taxation system of the time, which provided an income deduction for husbands of non-working wives, pressured women even in low-income families not to work. Her observations helped push Sweden into taxing married people separately from their spouses.
