There are undoubtedly many female achievements in the past that were hidden behind male names, grabbed from the spotlight and denied from the potential of achievement by social and biological factors. I say we have what I’ve always believed we should have. A meritocracy, based upon an equal playing fields. No one is denied for any factor other than skill and let the best rise to the top.
