I agree that the topic is great, but also realize that most college
students these days have no clue about previous generations of
scientists.  They don't know the difference between a discovery made by a
male or a discovery made by a female.  I think this is all the more reason
to run this course.

Another post referred to science that is normally taught as
'male-science.'  This overstates the problem.  Most students are ignorant
about these details.
