Sorry, I might've jumped the gun and read it in way that was unintended. The statement could very well have been '...That or a person's unique insight and persistence.' I guess the reason I misread is because as I was reading the post I was thinking 'wow, that's awesome ! she did all of that despite being a woman in the 1800s (when typically I presume this behavior would be frowned upon)' and then I read the last bit and thought, is he saying that she did that because she was a woman ? Interesting how the content you read (past tense) influences what you read.
