One of the more interesting women to have put a mark on history?
I was watching PBS last night and they did a small story on the first Black woman to get a pilot's license. She had to go to France to get it and this was in the 30's?.:rolleyes:
This makes me laugh when everyone talks about women politicians. The 'real' women went out and did things they wanted to do 50-60 years before bras were burnt and S-A-X was revolutionized.
That is why SS isn't anything special.
She's a dolt who probably could not name 3 women who paved the way for her to become a SCJ.
There are MANY women in history who have done more, accomplished more and have been lost in the books of time-When you look at PB-flying around in a wood, wire and canvas plane and compare her to the wise latina lawyer sucking up to politicians to get a job?
Please.
SS may look like PB, but I can assure you that Barnes was far more deft, fearless and a real icon compared to some women here in the year 2009.
Barnes was a real woman.
WTF good would an encyclopedia have done for her?;):D
