I'm creating a cultural geography class and was looking at some themes, got thinking about the influence of women...

Why have modern women not been as successful creatively as they have been, for instance, politically?

I would say over at least the last 50 years many women have had a good opportunity and luxury to learn and create. However, the number of great women writers, artists, musicians, directors have been minimal (especially compared to the number of great female politicians and scientists).

Is this a nature/nurture thing? Is our society so successful in teaching roles, likes, and attitudes that it is nearly impossible to break from it? Or is it nature. Women do and like the things they do because it is natural for them?

Or, is my notion of success/creativity just male centered? A women does not see the creative output of men as something they need to mimic.
