”I have an allergy to 'male genius'." -- Diamanda Galas
If you google "genius list", the early results are long lists of men with an occasional Marie Curie or Jane Goodall in the mix. So to counterbalance this one-sided perspective, I thought it might be interesting to find out about women who have won the Macarthur "genius grant". There are a lot of them.
Each post will be a copy of a Wikipedia entry. I currently plan on posting them in chronological order of when they won the grant, starting in 1981.
