Annie Oakley Annie is one of my very favorite women. Everything about her is admirable.
I taught a class in high school for three years. The first year I projected her picture and asked if anyone could identify her. Nobody could. I gave them a reading assignment. The heck of it was that I was teaching Embedded Computing. The next day they wanted to know the relevance. I told them, "None, but I am proud to be an American and I love America's heroes".

Speaking of computing, Ada Lovelace was pretty cool, too.

Good point about Annie Oakley. Although most men may not immediately be able to name a woman they "want to be like" Ms. Oakley provides an excellent example of expertise and the results of dedicated practice.
Who wouldn't want to be able to shoot like her?
