I only came here to agree with this.

It would be pretty awesome if coding was culturally somewhere among the lines of crocheting.

These women are so intersting because they betray such a huge misconception about a widely accepted thing. The only thing that could make a historical fgure all that intersting at all to me, honestly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadwiga_of_Poland

"Queens regnant being relatively uncommon in Europe at the time, Jadwiga was officially crowned a "king" (rex) rather than "queen" (regina).[3"

" Jadwiga was taking part in a Corpus Christi Day procession when a coppersmith's son drowned by falling into a river. Jadwiga threw her mantle over the boy's body, and he regained life"

Yeah, I personally know some seriously badass Lisp-using biomedical engineers. That day I found out I have a fetish for women who know more than I do about the things I love.
