8 Inspiring Women From History

[Catty1]

Karen, Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood. The good this has done is worthy of attention, not the bad which has not survived her.

Founding planned parenthood isn't exactly an accomplishment....

And on that note I think this thread should go away.

It's an extremely poor list, including Katherine Hepburn for her wardrobe choice, including Sanger AT ALL, the person who recorded the Dr. Who theme...

Leaving off Marie Curie, as mentioned above, Jane Goodall, Amelia Earhardt, Clara Barton, Florence Nightingale, there are endless other women who have had a true, positive impact on history and society without dredging up people from the margins and people who were absolute evil, such as Sanger.

Okay, any more nits that anyone wants to pick?

I think the point was lesser-known women, warts and all.

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.
