It is very misleading to call the Italian laurea, which traditionally entitled the holder to be called 'dottore' a 'doctor of philosophy degree' or indeed a doctoral degree at all -- it is basically a first degree. Italian universities did not award a true postgraduate doctoral degree until very recently, and so the Italian examples should all be removed. Mhardcastle (talk) 15:11, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In the table of women earning degrees the year for Cristina Roccati is 1750. But if one hovers over the name Cristina Roccati, which links to that page, the text reads:
"Cristina Roccati was an Italian physicist and poet who earned a degree at the University of Bologna (1751). This was the third academic qualification ever bestowed on a woman by an Italian university."
