Interestingly, not a single mother listed.

That should be changing given that we now have more women getting degrees in biological sciences than men.

Maybe that will be the case, but maybe not.  Mannkind is not so much a biological science company as a medical engineering company which is not surprising since Al Mann was a medical device engineer (and a very good one).  While women certainly have adequate smarts for it, they are not going into engineering schools in the numbers you see for medicine and life sciences.  We need more female engineers if patents are to have more mothers.
