> I actually think that it would be much easier to recognize a 'female Einstein' just because her intelligence would be so exceptional.

Sorry, I don't get it. What are you trying to say?

By the way, the most beautiful result in physics was discovered by a woman, Emmy Noether. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noethers_theorem)

The idea that we should focus on trying to get respect/acceptance for female super geniuses. My point is that getting respect for ultra smart women is less of an issue because it's easy to recognize that they are exceptional.
