The statement that does NOT involve a female scientist influencing the Scientific Revolution is the one about René Descartes. Descartes was a male philosopher and mathematician who played a pivotal role in the Scientific Revolution, but he is not a female scientist. All the other responses refer to female scientists who did influence the Scientific Revolution.
