Well i came across some idiot:

He said "name one smart woman that made a significant scientific or mathamatical discovery" (he even misspelled Mathematical)

As if there were none!

So i gave him these links:

http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/alpha.htm
http://www.distinguishedwomen.com/subject/field.html

I just hope that was enough! :silly:

7. Rosalind Franklin too

But a lot of people only know Watson and Crick for the DNA discovery. They would not have made it without her X-rays. But she died and Nobel Prizes are not awarded posthumously.
