@b_rain I love this soo much! Thank you! 
@b_rain I didn't know about the Wonder Women, or Marcia Lucas, but the impact and influence of the rest were familiar to me. (It reminds me: I need to go back and read "The Scarlet Pimpernel". I started it once, but then misplaced it... I've seen several movie adaptations, though.)
@ubuntourist @b_rain There is a brilliant miniseries with Richard E Grant as the Scarlet Pimpernel :-D
If you're interested, search youtube for "how star wars was saved in the edit"
@b_rain My mum should be up there..
She taught me.. make my bed, tidy my room, peel spuds and later to cook..
darn my socks, iron my shirts (so well my G/F, partners and exwife used to get me to iro their cloths as I was better)..
etc etc..
so I would be of a generation to free up women from waiting on me like some limp dick and so they could do other things.. )))))
@b_rain and not forgetting Verity Lambert
@b_rain Bjo Trimble is misspelled
You missed the biggest (?) of them, Admiral Grace Hopper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper
Speaking as a lifelong male nerd, I have never understood those who think gatekeeping to exclude half the population somehow improves their nerding.
@b_rain I really wanna smack the sexist Star Wars fans over the head with the reality of what Marcia Lucas did. She took a movie with terrible pacing, an amateurish script, and absolutely no tension in the third act and cleverly dropped/re-edited scenes together with some ADR to miraculously create an amazing movie out of it. The entire franchise only happened because of Marcia Lucas in the 11th hour.
(not to zero in on this one thing because other accomplishments like Ada Lovelace inventing computers like 100 years before they could even hope to exist is bonkers 
)
Women have been at the cutting edge of "scientia" (or "knowledge", or if one prefers, "geek stuff") since pre-historic times.
But once the blokes saw Hypatia outshining them in their local maths competitions...
... well, women were (and still are) oppressed in many cultures, including modern "western" societies.
But who was the FIRST person to merit TWO Nobel prizes?
Marie Curie.
Let's not forget that "fiction" is merely "non-true" storytelling or...
... bullshitting.
So, "science fiction" is "science-y bullshitting" and anyone can BS!
Anyone who thinks that women have no place in "geek" culture or the "science fiction" genre has got their head up their arse!
@b_rain
Again, Verity Lambert doesn’t get a mention for Dr. Who!
@b_rain hard love for including Baroness Orczy :-)
Her Scarlet Pimpernel predates Zorro by a few years, and Batman and Superman weren't even a twinkle in their creators's eye yet <3
@b_rain it’s spelled Bjo Trimble, not Trumble but yeah, thanks for this!
@b_rain Didn't know about the Star Trek/Wars ladies.
Thanks 
@b_rain I knew of Lucille Ball (who doesn't), but not in the context of Star Trek
@b_rain Hedy Lamarr invented spread-spectrum radio encoding, which led to WIFi!
Just curious, is the guy on the bottom right supposed to be someone specific?
@rl_dane I also wondered that. I don't know.
