It is stories like this that make me cry. How many brilliant women never got a chance due to the stupidity of men? How much further could we have advanced if everyone was truly given an "equal" opportunity? In a large portion of the world, women are required to put bags over their heads, are not allowed to attend school, and are not involved in the affairs of their country - how much better off would these places be if women were allowed to be equal citizens? Even today, this shit continues in America, and I would guess Canada has its share of bone-headed men putting down women and minorities. This is not to say that all women are brilliant or driven, but to not even be given a chance is a crime against humanity.

My dad worked in the aerospace industry in California. I love this story, very much!
