woman wins turing award

Frances Allen has won the AM Turing award, the Nobel Prize equivalent for computer science. For the first time since 1966, a woman has won it. She won it for her work in parallel computing at IBM.
How many more firsts are we going to see from women? Harvard's first woman president, a potential first US woman president etc. I think by the end of this century, men will recede to the background, like their hairlines. Maybe to golf courses, 24 x 7 bars, sports stadiums and other manly pursuits. ;-)
