A lot of powerful movements in history have been silently influenced by a woman! Martin Luther King received more publicity than anyone during  the  Civil Rights movement, but it was Rosa Parks who silently influenced the movement by not giving up her seat. Abraham Lincoln is given credit for the 1865 amendment that abolished slavery, but Susan B. Anthony had a great influence on that law being passed. Some (not all) men unconsciously sell drugs to impress certain women (not all) who only talk to men who have short-term money. And everyone is pretty familiar with the Garden of Eden story,  which shows how Eve silently influenced Adam to eat the apple.
