Re:what about women? (Score 1)

"How many women geniuses are there?" I hope you meant, "How many famous woman geniuses are there?" There have always been lots of woman geniuses; it's just that in previous eras they were mostly stuck at home, washing their non-genius husband's laundry. Not to start a whole harangue about the male-dominated society, but that comment really smacks of the "Math is Hard!" Barbie attitude that still pervades to a great extent.

There have been famous scientists who were women... Madame Curie, Ada Loveless, Grace Hopper... granted, not as large a sample set as you have with famous male scientists, but how scientific was this study, anyway? 280 online biographies? I'm not sure that that's a representative sample to begin with. Women could have at least rated a mention.
