Same on Curie, but Hedy Lamarr and Mary Shelley.
That’s for admiration. I don’t want to “be like” any woman.
In fairness, I dont “want to be like any men either” LOL
Yeah Hedy Lamarr is a great choice. Margaret Thatcher, Florence Nightengale and Mother Angelica come immediately to mind. I don’t think it would hard to think up a fairly long list.
I think the problem for the author is that she’s a lib. Women libs aren’t known for admirable qualities.
IIRC, Hedy Lamar was Austrian born. She was a true genius despite being stunningly beautiful, IMO.
She also was a codeveloper on a communications scheme that can be described today as a frequency hopping, spread spectrum technique. Also a very accomplished mathematician.
