The recent discussion about the great acting skills of Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, Elisha Cuthbert, and others led me to the thought that we should perhaps more openly discuss female achievement, ideally with examples. Here is a random and very talented Chinese woman who demonstrates mastery of elliptic curves. This chick is probably in her mid to late 30s, but still remarkably good-looking.

I think its fair to count Ronda Rousey here. In her heyday, I believe she was the most prolific UFC fighter, might even arguably be responsible for bringing Women’s MMA into public relevancy.
Female MMA fighters are usually too masculine-looking for my tastes, but Ronda in her physical prime looks pretty nice.
