Not taking the P, but four women represented on the new note? O.K, one's mythical and another just signed the promissory, but this is not equality, it's a takeover.

An entirely appropriate choice IMV. As AA Gill pointed out, in a review of some TV adaptation or other, JA's novels are all about negotiating the exchange of money and property for sex.Comment

I'm not sure that Rosalind Franklin is that 'unsung' anymore. There are numerous awards and medals named after her, as well as lecture theatres, buildings and research institutes. For example, the Royal Society's Rosalind Franklin Award, the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago, the Rosalind Franklin Biotechnology Center in Delft, the Rosalind Franklin Building in Nottingham etc etc. She was also the recipient of a 'Google doodle' showing her gazing at a double helix structure of DNA.Originally posted by Bryn View Post
Recognition of her contribution to the discovery of DNA was woefully late, and the acclaim awarded to her now is much deserved, but unsung she ain't."I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
