Great female minds?

I'm doing an assignment about great minds, people who were recognized for their brilliance and how they used their intelligence to change the world

So far I got, Einstein, Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, Alexander Grahambell and Stephan Hawking but the only women I can think of who made any sort of impact did things like fight for equality.

I need a list of women who were like geniuses and RECOGNIZED internationally for their brilliance

marrie currie is a well known one with her research on radioisotopes.

just google female scientists. you're bound to find something.

Not to be rude or nothing but there are lots of female scientists, I'm specifically looking for like a world renowned GENIUS

There won't be many because of the way that women weren't equal for such a long time. Just put someone like Mary Poppins in there.SolidSnake35

LMAO o man, I don't think a lot of chicks will like this thread...

You will find scientists, but not great minds on par with Einstein and even Tesla... :\ It's fact, - and I'm not sexist - but that's a mans' ball game.

O and they have a Brain a 5th the size of ours, It's science. :P

a man scientifically proved it :P

yeah marie curie is the only one who springs to mind... even then not realy on a par with the likes of Sir Isaac Newton or Einstein.

Harriet Tubman, Betsy Ross, more here.ChicaQueenWarGa

I appreaciate what you're doing for your gender and these women are certainly a part of history but they don't belong in my report, those women you mentioned made a flag and worked on a railroad, others were royalty or were the first foreign born first-lady.

I have to stress out I'm looking for women of brilliance.

I can't for the life of me remember her name but the chick that invented kevlar. I don't know about you but to the countless men and women who serve in the military and police forces all over the United States and over seas she has to be right up there.donny666

I think that was ms. pac-man

I was watching some Stephen Hawking DVD and there were some brilliant women in that. But they aren't "recognized" for their work.

Whether it's washing dishes or unraveling the secrets of the universe...women just don't get credit for their hard work.

Correct. Women weren't allowed the same opportunities in the past.

I do the dish washing in my house thank you very much. On the other hand I am single. On the first hand I would probably still do them if I weren't though. Is it possible to be whipped while your single?

That is a little off topic though. I found that ladies name Stephanie Kwolek.

None because they haven't gotten in the kitchen and made me pie yet.

:P

Look up Hypatia and see if that does anything for you.

Your title is an oxymoron.Mr47fitter

Valid!

She is. If I remember right I think she found some new elements.

Lol that's awesome, all I read are filmmakers and then a wife of someone great. Yeah really making the women look good in this thread.. :roll:

There's got to be one.. I mean.. well... erg...

None.

Rosalind Franklin.....she helped find DNA stuctureUnknownSniper65

Darn I was so close to being the first person to mentioning her. She was the first person who came to my mind, but I couldnt think of her name for the life of me!

If you're including Graham Bell and Eddison, I seeno reason why you shouldn't include Curie. All were inventors and discoverers in their own right... Graham Bell's and Eddison's discoveries are just more well known.

Hypatia is good... Elizabeth I is also known for being a briliant ruler and both ending the violence of the Protestant Reformation and allowing the Renaissance to flourish, which shows wisdom on her part. Ancient China also hadseveral notable poets and writers, but I don't know what kind of brilliance you are looking for.

Scientific brilliance? How about Ada Lovelace, a pioneering computer scientist?

I also agree with Marie Curie -- she was the first person to win 2 Nobel prizes!

Rosalind Franklin is also well known as helping discover the helical structure of DNA.

As to why there are not as many well known female scientists as men -- try reading about oppression and sexism. Kind of hard to become world renowed when you aren't allowed to enroll in university to study the relevant subjects until about 100 years ago...
