injanier: I'm so glad you mentioned Ms Lamar. Apparently she wasn't such airhead as people believed.
Another surprising woman was Lord Byon's daughter, Ada Lovelace, who invented computer programming (the punch card system).

what kind of sexist feminist idiot are you.. do you think that makes you better because there are people of like sex that have done amazing things. MEN out number the woman high achievers 50 to 1 , but i am no better a human for it unless 'I' have done something great.. 'I' raised 3 beautiful ladies after my wife died, 'I' am raising - with the loving cooperation of my present wife- another beautiful lady and two presidents, the most important thing 'I' ever did is to try as much as is in me to lead people to Jesus.. Honey, you need to have a come to Jesus moment-- I'll just leave you two alone now..

I think the most surprising inventor was Hedy Lamarr, the actress. She was co-inventor of spread-spectrum radio.
