Hilda Hudson was born into a family with great mathematical talents. Her parents were both mathematicians. She was born on 11 June 1881 in Cambridge, England. Hilda entered Newnham College, Cambridge in 1900. After leaving Cambridge, Hilda Hudson went to Germany for a year spending the time studying at the University of Berlin. She returned to Cambridge in 1905 when she was appointed as a lecturer at Newnham College. After holding this position for five years, she was appointed Associate Research Fellow at Newnham. In 1912, the International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Cambridge, England, in the list of participants Hilda Hudson was listed as accompanying her father Professor Hudson, but in fact she gave a communication to the Congress, being the only woman to do so. She published Ruler and Compass in 1916. She continued working on applied mathematics problems. While working for the Air Ministry she published two papers in 1920, one on The strength of lateral loaded struts in The Aeroplane, the other on Incidence wires in the Aeronautical Journal.
