" Schneider is also the first woman to amass more than $1 million on the program, making her the most successful female contestant and the most successful transgender contestant of all time."

“‘Jeopardy!’ has been a boys’ club ... and a lot of it is about all the messages that you get from society that this isn’t what women do. That women don’t know things,” Schneider says.

“I got those messages as well. But I had my mom right there the whole time as a living counter-example to all of them. ... I always had that counteracting the messages that might have discouraged me not just from learning, but wanting to show off that learning.”
