First woman to win Nobel Prize for Economics

They could have given this also to Obama for his exemplary Economic Strategy .... President Obama has gotten all the attention with his undeserved Noble Peace Prize, but this is the year of the Women Power.

Five women won the Noble this year, an all-time record. And unlike President Obama prize, their awards were on more objective since one can only win a prize in, say, literature after accomplishments not on their intentions to write a great novel.

And this year saw the first woman ever win the Noble Prize for Economics: American Elinor Ostrom. She shared the honor with fellow patriot Oliver Williamson.
Ms. Ostrom is a professor at Indiana University.
