The most visible feature of a mine shaft is the headframe (or winding tower, poppet head or pit head) which stands above the shaft. Depending on the type of hoist used, the top of the headframe will either house a hoist motor or a sheave wheel (with the hoist motor mounted on the ground). The headframe will also contain bins for storing ore being transferred to the processing facility.

No question a greater quantity and higher percentage of females work today in high level positions than 1890, withdrawn from stereotypical roles. The availability and means to distribute such historical information certainly expanded at least the same rate, if not more. WWII may have opened labor to them, yet the majority who excelled, appear to have mathematics in their favor.
So why is it; if asked, few women can name one positive role model in something other than entertainment, fashion, or politics? That last one is gratuitous, since many politicians do so, simply because they lack marketable skills.
