Lamarr "was an unusual woman, one offered the privileges of spare time and access to expert people" http://www.howwegettonext.com/Article/VGOy8SQAAHIDqQIo/happy-100th-hedy-lamarr …

When you no longer have a large institution (e.g. the military) pushing resources & access specifically at women, what happens?
IMO Lamarr is just as good of an example of women in science as Hopper & Bletchley Park, b/c they all benefited from unusual circumstances

-
Women at the time (and to some extent, women today) didn't have access to resources, education, independent financial means
-
When you ask "Why aren't there more women inventors?" in early tech history, can't ignore the realities of financial dependence for women
-
How many women of leisure just hung around MIT and Berkeley, free, unmarried, and able to tinker on random shit
