True Heroines

[davidps]

Are these all women that you admire personally (do you express an interest in their fields of skill and expertise) or just women that you think have accomplished admirable things? If the former you clearly have a wide range of interests. 

They are all women that I admire personally. I have a lot of general interest in many fields but I do not have the intelligence to excel in any of them. I admire men who make exceptional contributions to knowledge, or to the world, as well, but it is so much harder for women to succeed, and if they do, get the recognition that they deserve.

I know that, just like men, not all women will achieve exceptional things but that is no reason why I, or any man should not show respect for all of them. 

A quote that I like:

"A woman sacrifices a lot of things in her life. Yet, somehow she finds happiness in those things. I hope we, as men, find happiness in giving women the love and respect they deserve."
