changed history as much say Alfred Sloan or Cyrus McCormick or Edison or Bell?
Give me a break.
Jesus, I did not NOT say every woman in history sat at home and cooked.
I said that the big things that changed everyone's lives over the last one
thousand years were for the most part caused by white European (and in the
last 1/4 of those thousand years North American) males.
No disrepect to the women below, but I think the list proves my point.
I mean, for crying out loud. We're talking here about things like founding
the UN and you offer up "delegate to the UN". We're talking domestication
of electro-magnetic radiation and you offer up "lighthouse keeper".
