My favorite, though? "Which Science? Which Women?" (1997) in which she discusses how and why some female scientists built networks of support and others instead sought to distance themselves from other women in their field: www.jstor.org/stable/301904

She's probably best known for her paper on the "Matilda Effect" (1993), the flip side of the "halo" surrounding already well-known Matthews that leads them to be credited for work they did not do, where the "have-nots" of science were repeatedly ignored despite successes: www.jstor.org/stable/285482

Of course, Rossiter then devoted her entire career to documenting the lives of women in science and theorizing their experiences, which in many ways mirrored her own: www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...
