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

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.
