The Matilda Effect: what an infuriating but all too familiar narrative of credit for discoveries owed to women in science being *stolen* by male colleagues who then go on to reap the recognition/profits from it and behave so appallingly.
Not exactly shocking that a female scientist was not acknowledged for a key role in a breakthrough discovery (Google Matilda effect) but I hugely admire how she constantly fought back to get the recognition she deserved
