The
following is a list of significant men and women known for being the father, mother,
or considered the founders mostly in Western societies in a field, listed by category. Such people
are generally regarded to have made the first significant contributions to
and/or delineation of that field; they may also be seen as "a"
rather than "the" father or mother of the field. In most
non-science fields, the title of being the "father" is debatable.
