"Genius is two percent inspiration, ninety-eight percent perspiration." 

By: Thomas Edison

All are genius in their own way. I say the person who use time tactfully, sensitively or diplomatic/thoughtful/understanding way they are intelligent and lead in all fields/situations. Just checked for images to post by using the word genius even the great genius Einstein too told the same. 

If come to personalities wise we have many genius in my country

Maryam Mirzakhani We have already lost it and it is unfortunate that she die in this age of giving

The genius is not defined by age or sex

It is a capacity + ability  and a distinctive genetic composition within suitable environment
