Hi,

There are a number of things the following people have in common but I'm looking for something in particular:

Henry Ford
Charles M. Schwab
John Wanamaker
Woodrow Wilson
John D. Rockefeller
Thomas Edison
Alexander Graham Bell
Theodore Roosevelt

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Torsten

That's right, Amy. They lived in a society that was dominated by men but beyond that there is something else they share.

Hi Alex,

You are getting closer to what I have in mind. I can give you another hint: In addition to the names I listed there were about 500 other people who shared the same thing.
