8 Inspiring Women From History

[Karen]

On various other places,the notable women included some I had never heard of, who seem more worthy of mention than some of the ones on this list, including Chien-Shiung Wu - a woman born in 1912 who worked on the Manhattan project with Openheimer, disproved one "law"of physics, and was one of the leading theoretical physicists in her time!

Wonderful.

This particular article showed up in one of my emails. I thought it interesting and posted it here.

Thanks for a couple of your opinions. Too bad some can't just ignore what they don't like. Maybe another thread with one of the lists they found would have been an idea.

Any list attempting to put Ms. Sanger in a positive light is going to be controversial to be polite.

Evil is evil.

I thought it was/ is interesting. Some people just can't stand differing points of view. It's their loss. Thanks for posting Catty1.

At least the title of the post is "inspiring" women - it does not say what they inspire - and for some it is controversy, some other feeling, and some, feelings of puzzlement.

Maybe next year, we should all post our lists of ten women we admired and why! Heck, we could do that now, never too late to talk about people that inspire us!

Mine would of course start with Clara Barton, but when one has grown up on a street that borders the Clara Barton Birthplace, traveled on Clara Barton Road past her birthplace every school day to get to Clara Barton Elementary School, and greeted campers every summer who went to the camp for diabetic girls that takes place on the birthplace grounds every year, that is probably to be expected!

Who is up for the challenge? Googling is okay!
