Hoi, EEK women EEK ... I think we should accept that our heroes deserve attention. Calling Emily a hero as in an achiever is not a problem. Emily is certainly notable and she is more than a figurehead.
I do not have a problem with celebrating our own notable people. When we do, WE have a problem.
Thanks, GerardM

The media reaction to Emily Temple-Wood's campaign to write articles about female scientists is only the most recent and prominent example illustrating that the audience is there.
This is somewhat tangential, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Temple-Wood exists now. I personally find this to be both unfortunate and potentially ominous.
