(To celebrate the launch of TIME’s new multimedia project – 100 Photographs: The Most Influential Images of All Time – we asked leaders in a number of fields, from technology to the arts to business, to share the single photograph that most influenced their lives. Purchase the 100 Photographs book now.)
'The Solvay Conference in 1927 brought together the world’s most prominent scientists and physicists, including Albert Einstein, who you can see front and center here. Seventeen of them were or would become Nobel Prize winners. At first glance this may not be the most moving photo, but to me it subtly communicates two very powerful messages. First, that the pursuit of human progress and advances in science are incredible forces to bring people together. And perhaps even more impactful to me is the presence of the one woman in attendance, Marie Curie. As a woman pioneer in a field clearly so dominated at the time by men, Curie remains the only person in history to ever win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences – but perhaps not for long! She paved the way for so many girls who are interested in becoming engineers, scientists and mathematicians, and a similar photo today may look a lot less like Solvay and a lot more like the world around us.'

bump that
what is this crap of some women thinking they are a minority with no rights?
Check out article, w photos in thread.
I see a distinct parallel between her and Caroline Kennedy.
Something is wrong...they are all white.
Except that the one woman in the photo is so hard-looking she could pass for a man.
Web’s kid no question.....
Fathers were gifted politicians. Daughters dumb as rocks and ugly. Although, Caroline was better looking.
I wish I could find it now, but a long time ago I saw a picture of Chelsea standing next to Bill and you could really see the resemblance. I don’t think she’s Webb’s.
Apparently she didn’t have enough money left over to hire a decorator.
“...perhaps even more impactful to me is the presence of the one woman in attendance..”
Impactful - intransitive verb: to impinge or make contact especially forcefully
ClintonSspeak...
Not much ‘diversity’ in that photo, Chelsea. Just a bunch of old white guys.
That is undeniably true!
Chelsea’s no Einstein that’s for sure.
Word is Chelsea was planning on a career in medicine only to be dissuaded by Bill and Hillary because it wasn’t going to give her enough public profile for future political office.
Which is a shame, because she’d have had a happier and more productive life as a GP in a suburban clinic than picking up her parents’ wreckage in a Manhattan penthouse.
The field of the un indicted co-conspirator.
lol
Re : Post #15
” Here’s the Chelsea photo that influenced me most.
” I met Chelsea one day on Fifth Avenue during the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade - and she was wearing ropes!
The Late, Great, Rodney Dangerfield...
Good Grief! Is that photo shopped?
“...ummmm, exactly in which field is Chelsea Clinton a leader?”
Dontcha know she’s a leader in revolutionary politics?
Hmmmm? Dontcha know? And to top it all off, she’s a brilliant, intellectual, Progressive genius too.
IMHO
