well, yes you do need say more, how about that women during these times have been put down and never mentioned for any accomplishments, no matter how great. not to mention, they weren't given the same opportunities as men...really, how much of an accomplishment do you could come about from staying home and cleaning, cooking, and watching kids all day....other than the best mom's award....its pretty close to nothing...no one is smarter than anyone...people are just smart in different ways...for example, i have yet to meet a man who knows how to seperate his clothes for the laundry, do a sufficient grocery without buying nothing but junk food, take care of a child day after day after day without practically dying. im not saying there aren't men out there that can do these things, but there aren't many...and a woman could have accomplished all of those things...had men had the common sense to think that women are humans to and should be treated as such instead of thinking out of their a**es.

that list indicates that we live in a male dominated society but does not give proof one way or the other of males being smarter. i know brilliant people and idiots of both sexes. Since you named all peple from western culture, keep in mind that women have had the right to vote in this country less than a 1/4 of it's history since it's been settled by colonists. for much of our history women were pretty much in the stay at home and raise kids mold, rarely having access to the education most of these men had. as we progress, there are becoming more women's names you can add to the list of great people.

I believe that our society today does favor the male gender over the female one quite a bit. Whether it be work related or school related, just because a male is a male they are said to be smarter. Women, fortunately, are slowly making names for themselves, though. The names you mentioned are those of people who were in times when women were not allowed to speak up about their beliefs and/or ideas. Nowadays that is changing. Soon women will be where they belong in our society.

Athletes like Martina Hingis, we can excel just like men.

Marion Donovan: Inventor of Disposable Diapers
Bette Nesmith Graham: Liquid Paper Inventor
Dr. Grace Murray Hopper: COBOL Computer Language
Mary Phelps Jacob - Inventor of the Modern Brassiere
Stephanie Kwolek: Inventor of Kevlar® (a synthetic material that is five times as strong as steel.)
Hedy Lamarr: Invention of Spread Spectrum Technology (helped to invent would galvanize the digital communications boom, forming the technical backbone that makes cellular phones, fax machines and other wireless operations possible)
Ann Moore: The Snugli® Baby Carrier
Patsy Sherman: Invention of Scotchgard⢠Stain Repellent
Dr. Giuliana Tesoro: (obtained more than one hundred and twenty-five patents and helped to make great strides in the field of fiber and textile chemistry.)
Ruth Wakefield: Chocolate Chip Cookie Inventor
Rachel Zimmerman: Inventor of the Blissymbol Printer (created a software program using Blissymbols: symbols that enable non-speaking people, such as those with severe physical disabilities like cerebral palsy, to communicate.)
Marie Curie , famed 19th century co-discoverer of radioactivity. First woman Nobel prize winner in 1911 for the isolation and analysis of the element radium.
Maria Gaetana Agnesi, 18th century Italian mathematician. A child prodigy who mastered mathematics in her teens and at age 30 published a textbook summarizing mathematical analysis to date, including the "Witch of Agnesi" curve.

Barbara McClintock, winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. She pioneered the analysis of genetic phenomena, working from the varied pigmentation in maize which visualizes inherited qualities.
Sophia Germain, outstanding 19th century French mathematician, said to have been inspired in her field of study by the story of the death of Archimedes. Developed the theory of elasticity, the characteristic of materials that, for example, permits construction of steel bridges which sway in the wind rather than breaking.
Lynn Margulis, biologist. An authority on the microcosmos and the role of microorganisms in evolution, their role being symbiotic rather than competitive.
Flossie Wong-Staal, biologist, specializing in the field of retro-viruses and co-discoverer of the HIV virus.
Gertrude B. Elion, chemist and Nobel prize winner. Graduated as an organic chemist and her interest expanded to include biochemistry and virology working on cancer fighting drugs.
Maria Mitchell, first recognized woman astronomer in the United States. Discoverer of a comet and professor of astronomy at Vassar College from 1865 to 1888.
Sally Kristen Ride, physicist, first American woman in space as a member of the shuttle Challenger's crew.
