When I read your wonderful write-up on us a while back, you really had me curious!<BR/><BR/>As for bastardettes, I'm living in the past. It's also much shorter to type than "Women who are Elitist Bastards." ;-)Dana Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09588487815623499463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819463975802448604.post-5143273494449946142008-05-31T06:37:00.000-07:002008-05-31T06:37:00.000-07:00Love this site!

She was a philosopher and a mathematician and an astronomer, put to death by Christian fanatics for being a threat to their order.<BR/><BR/>Maybe also Mary Wollstonecraft for standing up for the education of girls and intellectual development of women, and against social pressure for women to be simple and deferential, when such ideas were unheard of.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840000185720888942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819463975802448604.post-26932493972950880732008-05-21T16:55:00.000-07:002008-05-21T16:55:00.000-07:00Cleopatra.Cleopatra.Blake Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977394981287067289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819463975802448604.post-12899952380333838692008-05-20T07:49:00.000-07:002008-05-20T07:49:00.000-07:00Dorothy Parker.Donna Haraway.Rosemary Radford Ruet...Dorothy Parker.<BR/>Donna Haraway.<BR/>Rosemary Radford Ruether (a personal fav of mine).<BR/><BR/>So yeah.

Here are a few that I could think of:<BR/><BR/>Lynn Margulis<BR/>Frances Allen<BR/>Barbara McClintock<BR/>Grace Hopper<BR/>Rosalind Franklin<BR/>Jocelyn Bell<BR/>Emmy Noether<BR/>Lise Meitner<BR/>Sophie Germain<BR/>Ada Lovelace<BR/>Florence Nightingale - (she wasn't only a nurse - she made contributions in public health and statistics; in particular in statistical graphics)<BR/><BR/>If we go back to ancient times, it would be hard to go past Hypatia.<BR/><BR/>I'm probably forgetting many dozens! <BR/><BR/>Oh, Hedy Lamarr (yes, that one!). Not just an actress.<BR/><BR/>Virginia Apgar!
