Sounds like a fun game. Mq has few heroes because his requirements are so high nobody can meet them. I have many heroes because I find heroes everywhere. Some of my heroes are unknown to you and yours to me even though we might agree if we both knew them. Also, history is notoriously prone to forgetting quiet heroism, which is the best kind in my opinion. That's where most of the women are. For example, my wife because she puts up with me. Your wife might qualify also, if you have one and if you are as hard to get along with as I am. But since you laid out the challenge, a lady who read a few scientific papers written by an ancestor of mine became much more famous than he. My ancestor had been knighted by King George, had a medal pinned on him by Napoleon, and was the discoverer of a half dozen chemical elements on the Periodic Chart. I bet you've never heard of him, but I bet you've heard of her. Her name: Mary Shelley. Her book: Frankenstein. Extra Credit: Name my ancestor.
