From the lens Famous Women through History.

Please let us know if you liked this lens. If you wished there was more information on anything, (or would like another woman on this lens) let me know and I will try to get that up ASAP.

    I applaud you for starting this lens and look forward to seeing it become very long and full of powerful women.

    If you are looking for suggestions for more, how about Rosalind Elsie Franklin? Her colleague Maurice Wilkins showed her X-ray diffraction images to James Watson, which gave him the "aha!" moment that allowed him to beat her to publication. The Nobel Prize for the discovery of DNA went to Watson, Crick and Wilkins. They used her work for their article without her knowledge or consent. Franklin was relegated to a supporting article in the journal "Nature" that published Watson's article. She did not complain--and living in Britain, I suspect that may be simply because the British don't like to complain.

    It's a great lens; which allowed me to learn more about these women, and I'd like you to add more famous women so that I can come back over and over again... I'm passionate with history and this lens is one I love particularly. After all, I'm a woman too ;)

    I love this lens that celebrates women of strength and courage. I would love for you to check out my lens about my fellow clanswoman (I myself am a member of the O'Malley clan) Granuaile, better known as Grace O'Malley, Pirate Queen of Connacht! I hope you enjoy it!
