I enjoyed this article, except for one section. The author's basic attitude toward genius. It's flawed on a few fronts.

Genius is not being remembered. That's irrelevant.

Education. The author states the lack of female geniuses through a lack of education. How does education explain Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan? It doesn't. Like all geniuses, they push the envelope intuitively, bit by copying others.

It's a fun read. However, I fear the author misses the fundamental nature of genius.
