I love the lists of female invetors and hearing about their stories. Thanks for posting these types of articles.

Although it is odd to hear you say there are no differences in male and female brains, because that isn't strictly true. There are differences even when adjusted for volume or weight. However, for years they didn't adjust for that, and therefore many of the conclusions that still persist are suspect, but that is a whole different debate.

Personally, I like that there are differences in our brains and general biology. It explains a lot about us, including, in some cases, the resilience of women to diseases. It also gives us new and different targets for medical and biological research, which we would do well to explore more... But won't start rambling on that.
