SUFFERJETS

I have been getting some flack over the fact that my list of the Top Twenty People of All Time had very few (i.e. one) women on it. Part of the problem is that until 1929 women were not persons, at least in Canada. (And THEN what happened? Right after we generously allowed them to be considered "people", they crashed the stock market.) That does limit the number of people to choose from. I will be entertaining suggestions for a revised, gender-fair list in the near future. That Queen lady in England might make the list. She certainly owns a lot of money. Every $20.00 bill I come across seems to have her picture on it. Perhaps Harry Potter's mother, the Rowling lady... or Helen Keller... Ann Frank... Madonna (the singer, OR the frequently-used model for Renaissance sculptors and painters). Margot Coulter did make the REAL list, coming in at number five. This morning I said to her: "Your people must be very proud of you!"
