My claim to fame was being the first girl in my school to pass A level physics (with a lousy grade but, hey).<BR/><BR/>Marie Curie is a good hero - not least as she one two Nobel prizes in two different fields (Physics 1903, chemistry 1911).<BR/><BR/>If it counts I have a degree in engineering. Alas my decent science/maths teachers were all male. Now of course I've just side-stepped into another male preserve!! But at least in this one I do have some female role models to recall and celebrate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-57056506425275197552009-03-24T19:03:00.000+00:002009-03-24T19:03:00.000+00:00Hi, I think its mainly a Southern US thing.
