My hope is that the girls will find these terrific women inspirational. I'm a feminist. I have a policy where I won't appear at a conference if there aren't other women presenters. You say that you are the Mae West of physics. It is the sexiest science.
Scientists often refer to interesting problems as being sexy.
The more esoteric and the bigger the budget, the sexier, the problem. Unified field theory is very sexy, and nuclear waste, for some reason, is not. In my opinion, it should be. I played an international group of about a thousand high energy physicists, a very serious lot, indeed. Many of them were from China and Japan and they didn't understand a great deal of English.
