Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very well-told and an important entry into the contest. I knew of her brilliance and invention. Her beauty and sex were her best and worst features. Being a beautiful female no doubt contributed to her being ignored for so many years.
Thank you for recognizing this amazing woman.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from BethShelby
You did an excellent job with this. She was the one I originally chose to write about, because I'd read her story before and I already familiar with her, when I did research on Howard Hughes. I remembered her from her movies as a kid. You made this into a really intereing story.

Comment from Terry Broxson
I think this is an excellent story for this contest. Those of us of a certain age remember her movies. But I dare say few of us knew how smart she was and of her accomplishments.
Every time I hear her name, I can not help but think about the movie Blazing Saddles...and Harvey Korman's character...Headly Lamarr. Well done. Terry.

Comment from papa55mike
It's amazing how people only saw her as only a gorgeous brunette but had a brilliant mind. How many nerds would like to be "The Mother of Wifi?" What a wonderfully written tribute.
Good luck in the contest!

Wow - what an interesting slice of history -who knows what other inventions might have happened if women back then were not obliged to remain in their 'place' so to speak.

Wow. Really, really interesting. I had known that Lamar was incredible intelligent but I had forgotten about her contribution to wireless communication. I a really loving these women's history posts. Thank you so much for posting. Gretchen

It was fun reading brief quips on them in order to select one.
Thank you do much!
Comment from Thesis
This post is extremely informative. I had no idea she was that talented. I am also glad that she pursued her desire to explore technology and develop things that much later are being put to use. She was an innovator, who was always underestimated because people chose to view her body over her brain.

Very interesting story about a truly beautiful and obviously genius woman. I remember the first movie I ever saw her in and her presence was certainly memorable. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
Amazing! So much extra information about her that very few of us (at least here in Australia) would know. It was a thoughtfully written piece, and very welll constructed, and serves as a fine tribute to her. Best wishes for the contest.
