Good one, Erin!
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

Helen Keller, who is equally as fascinating for all of her socialist/pacifist/suffragette stuff as her physical stuff, which unfortunately is what she most well-known for.

lisah, there is a great woman actuary named Ruth Salzmann. She was successful in the actuarial field starting in the 1950s. Don't know how much biographical data is out there for her, though. She lives here in Stevens Point, though. There may be some useful info in DH's company library.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didn't care if the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc, with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked.
Isadora was the first bra burner
Ain't ya glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.
And then there's Maude.
And then there's Maude.
...
Joan of Arc was "a sister who really cooked"? Damn, I never noticed that line before.
And the whole "bra-burning" thing is a myth, right?

Thanks, Amy! & Cash!
I said Margaret Sanger and Lucretia Mott.
I'd love to give her some names of women who are working for equality now but can't think of names off the top of my head.

Best. Baby. Pose. Ever. Mostly because it means they are DEEPLY asleep.
What about Ada Lovelace, lisah?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Working for equality is an interesting question -- Lise Meitner was great, but I think she was more just doing her own work.
More recent history (I KNOW): Geraldine Ferraro?
