The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- Growing up at a time when women were marginalized and allowed few educational opportunities, she gained admittance to medical school, where she met her future husband Carl Ferdinand Cori in an anatomy class.
- Upon their graduation in 1920, they married.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gerty Cori article was read about 34,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
