FLs Who are Smart and/or Top of Their Field
Narrow scope. The FL is extremely smart and / or one of the very best in her field of work or academia (a competitive discipline that is respected and requires intelligence, rather than good interpersonal skills, physical strength, or beauty). Some scholars, but generally established professionals (not rookies, unless they demonstrate consistent intelligence and strong skills). Not women whose lives are a mess and who don't "have it together". Admirable women.
