Looking at the Signpost today, I was really pleased
and pleasantly
surprised to discover that the top two most-viewed articles this past week
were biographical articles about women. Not only that, they were both
featured articles, so our reading public got a really good, informative
article.

A thank you to Christine for the Maya Angelou article, and to Sage Ross
(with support from Awadewit) for the Rachel Carson article.
I admit I wasn't familiar with Maya Angelou before I learned of her death, but
having read about her, I realised she was a truly heroic woman who suffered
through a lot and still maintained a good spirit, and with some ingenuity,
resourcefulness, persistence, and courage, became a superheroic person. She
truly deserved the Wikipedia page.
I gave her as an example for a person who had a tough beginning and yet
became a superhero, along with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller , who
was another very inspiring superheroine who was both deaf and blind from birth
and yet became a famous intellectual, in this Google-Plus post titled "Buffy is
not a nobody", which gives a download/streaming link to an
excerpt from the famous (and very feminist/women-lib show) Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, gives the transcript from the wikipedia, and then gives my
interpretation and conclusions:

Stay cool and smashing and become even more so!
