Sounds interesting. What if there are many other cases that have not been
publicized? I could imagine that a number of women did that before, for a
number of reasons: religious, feminist, psychological, or physical. I assume
most of them wouldn't like to publicize their case. If there are any, a good
reporter could find one, pay for an interview, and publish it. Maybe, we can
suggest this idea to some reporters - and then see what happens.
