What a dreadfully hard choice!  I thought of the usuals like splitting
the atom or the birth control pill, like computer technology or powered
flight, but in the end my choice would be the emancipation of women.  Not
yet complete, the empowering of just over half the human race seems to me
a transformation devoutly to be wished for and, as it doubles the talent
pool, an incredible contribution to both artistic and intellectual life.
(not to mention providing me with gainful employment)

Subject: Your TOP EVENT / DECISION that shaped the 20th Century

With Millennium 'madness' looming, I thought it might be rather fun to
invite LIST members and individuals to submit their pick of a single
event
or decision that, in their opinion, made the most impact upon this
Century?

The recommendations no doubt will be purely subjective ( perhaps a trifle
quirky) and should come with a short sentence of justification!


The responses will be collated and published in the April edition of
GLOBAL
MUSEUM ( in the FORUM section).
To save bandwidth, could I invite you to mail your contribution off the
list

I am picking we will have a wide range of choices and l Iook forward to
receiving the nominations
