Missing quotation mark?

[edit]

Under 'Biography', there's only one quotation mark at the end, which makes it unclear how much of that is quote:

Her reputation as a scientific woman was attested by an anecdote related to Carl Friedrich Gauss: In 1806, during a military campaign in Prussia, he declared he knew but one French woman that worked in Science, Madame Le François de Lalande"

Father

[edit]

I removed the information alluding to Jerome Lalande as her father. It was unsourced and the reference of the following sentence, which identified her husband, indicated that Jerome considered both Michel and Amelie as his nephew and nieces. This is corroborated by Londa Schiebinger. The information was added to the biography section. Darwin Naz (talk) 23:40, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
