Oh, no, no, no, there are tons of famous women in history. Hell, the world's first known author was a woman! The trouble is, the museum in the film is old school, so it's gonna focus more on male figures than female ones, and it was in the script.
I could name at least 25 different famous women off the top of my head, particularly women that would fit right in with that museum:
- Queen Elizabeth I
- Queen Victoria
- Amelia Earhart (who got to show up in the 2nd movie)
- quite a number of First Ladies who left their mark on America
- Annie Oakley
- Emily Dickinson
- the Bronte Sisters
- Madame Curie
- Eleanor of Aquitaine
- Margaret Thatcher
- Sylvia Plath
- Queen Marie Antoinette
- Mary Shelley
- Agatha Christie
- Jane Austen
- Florence Nightingale
- Pocahontas (AKA Matoaka, which was her real name)
- Catherine the Great
- Alexandra Romanov
- Anastasia Romanov
- all 6 wives of Henry VIII
- Queen Isabella of Spain
- Mary, Queen of Scots
The list goes on and on. Frankly, I wasn't bothered by the lack of women because I'm used to it in a lot of films, and I liked the two women who figured prominently in the story anyway. It's one reason I was heartbroken when we didn't see Rebecca again in the sequels as Larry's girlfriend.
