Connecticut-born scientist finally credited after years of obscurity
Original: Pioneering work of CT-born scientist was long hidden. How the Matilda effect finally gave her credit
A scientist born in Connecticut whose pioneering work went unacknowledged for years is now receiving recognition, with attention turning to the 'Matilda effect' — the pattern by which women's scientific achievements are overlooked or attributed to male colleagues. Commentators note her case as a long-delayed correction and part of a broader re-examination of whose contributions get recorded in the history of science.
Why now: A recent article has revived interest in her long-hidden contributions and the Matilda effect.
