Woman are leaders. TedTalks show them all off. In my field - Biotech - 
several were left behind. Especially, with the discovery of DNA. Lot's 
of great leaders of companies, that I have worked with, in the past. 
Also, Nobel Prize winners. Here's one 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalyn_Sussman_Yalow> you never knew 
about. A field I worked in, at one time, Nuclear Medicine.

Sweden was filled with super intelligent women at the Karolinska 
Institutet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karolinska_Institutet>. The 
University town of Uppsala founded their medical school in 1477. Been 
there, down that.

Linus is from around that area - Finland. Despite what Americans think 
about women, in the rest of the world, they are very well respected, and 
promoted.

Just a lurker from the /Jersey Shore/. Was out there, but Mom got old. 
And, needs the kid around.

You go girl!
