hey there, say...
i have a few, but, for now...
since so many are listed...
i would add her... i read of some of what she did,
for children in africa, as to food...
if that is really so, which it seems to be...
good for her... ??
audry hepburn...
harriet tubman...
and, sadly, i do not know who she is...
she was a mom, during a mudslide, after an earthquake in
(either mexico, or south america-- too long to remember back) ...
and, as she sunk into a deep hole of mud, she held her baby up
for someone to grab and save its life, but, she sunk too far
under and died, in the process... :(
knowing at least, that her baby was alive... and, hopefully
in good hands... :(
edit:
awwwww, say, thebravecowboy... as to your quote:
awww, how sweet, :)

A few more mathematicians to add to zBrown's mentions:
Sophie Germain (An amazing story of the passionate amateur).
Sofia Kovalevskaya
Emmy Noether
The Wiki articles on these people resonate with the difficulties they faced as women trying to participate in an activity defined as "a man's world". In any case, assistance from supportive males was an important factor in their success.
For hard, local climbers we have the "all-arounder" (alpine, sport, trad, boulder) known as "La Hormiga":

Here she is climbing on some local, Balcarce rock (is that some "toxic masculinity" we see creeping into the video?):

Mouse, my mother was the one who told me to pay homage to Mitochondrial Eve. She also told me that while the Eve story in the Old Testament was a silly fable it did make the valid point concerning the gullibility of men when their thinking is clouded by that organ directly below their belt buckle.

Hey Neebee, thanks for thinking of me, and I am glad that you caught the tongue-in-cheek tone of my comment. Don't rush to get that painting completed: this is such a busy time of year and so many folks just need basic love and human caring whereas A painting is just icing on my cake. Cheers!

Wiki: I like Joan of Arc best of all my books; and it is the best; I know it perfectly well. And besides, it furnished me seven times the pleasure afforded me by any of the others; twelve years of preparation, and two years of writing. The others needed no preparation and got none.
— Mark Twain

George Bernard Shaw's classic play about Saint Joan of Arc was first performed in 1923 in New York and is considered one of his greatest achievements. Due in large part to the theatrical success of Saint Joan, Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925.
I admired the woman who taught the course on "Drama as Literature" at Monterey Peninsula College.
We students drove to SF to watch it performed at the A.C.T.
It was magnificent. The instructor, whose name is erased from my mem, got through to me.
