Guess Planned Parenthood never heard of Margaret Meade, Marie Curie (French, but won the ONLY person to win two Nobel prizes), or these ladies: http://www.ams.org/publications/authors/books/postpub/hmath-34-PioneeringWomen.pdf
Plus, they ignore the fact that very few men “had [an] opportunity to finish school.” College was pretty much limited to the elite until after WWII.
Marie Curie was Polish, born in Warsaw. Her maiden name was Sklodowska. She later acquired French citizenship, but she named an element she discovered polonium.
