>All these women pioneered nothing.

What makes you say that? Usually there isn't just one pioneer, but a
group.

BTW: -1e6 points for quoting the whole post, another for having a
broken sig delimiter, yet another for having a too long sig, and a
fourth for putting your own text before the quote (this one I can
skip, if you have used computers since the days of 110 bps modems;
have you? OTOH, you still have to read the text you're quoting, so
even that excuse's a bit lame). Do that again and face the wrath of my
killfile. <g>
