Thanks for sharing that interesting link. I love all women, but especially smart and attractive women (Hedy Lamarr

)

It's pretty sad that anyone would make a web page that displays almost nothing when JavaScript is disabled.

Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman): It's not Hedy, it's Hedley. Hedley Lamarr.
Governor William J. Le Petomane (Mel Brooks): What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874. You'll be able to sue her.

Blazing Saddles, 1974. You cannot evoke Hedy Lamarr without this joke popping up.

Rick gets it.

Even Barbara Bush throws her hat into the "Women in STEM" ring!

How the times have changed!

Google in 1945 - type in "Dames with great STEMS".....and you get pictures of Betty Grable!

It is Hedy Lamarr, a movie star from the Golden Age of film. She, along with composer George Antheil, also invented frequency-hopping spread-spectrum radio transmission as a means of foiling radio interceptions during WWII.

If you've been watching the Cosmos series you'll notice a lot of emphasis on the contributions to science made by women.
