Hello there!
 
    The following subject just showed up on the Women in PHysics
listserv.  Time
is already filling its list of important people... very few of them are
women.  You might want to check the lists printed below to see what you
think....  Perhaps,
we could send in some women scientist/physician/mathematicians to the
list.
 
I personally was rather offfended to see that under entertainers, they
list Marilyn Monroe the blond bombshell rather than someone like Kathryn
Hepburn who has contributed to films for her whole life....
 
Anyway,   any additions you would like to add can be sent to TIme
magazine through the website listed below.
 
Read and see what these folks are pushing..............
