“The Matilda Effect”: How Pioneering #Women Scientists Have Been Written Out of Science #History
https://www.openculture.com/2025/12/matilda-effect.html
In 1993, Cornell University historian of science #MargaretRossiter dubbed the denial of recognition to women scientists “the #Matildaeffect,” for #suffragist and #abolitionist #MatildaJoslynGage, whose 1893 essay “Woman as an Inventor” protested the common assertion that “woman… possesses no inventive or mechanical genius" -

Interestingly, one archival witness remembered Zinaida Mulchenko as a "PhD student from #Kyiv" – an unconfirmed but intriguing Ukrainian thread in the story of a scholar who helped shape global scientometrics.

#Scientometrics is a direct translation of the Soviet term naukometriya, introduced through the 1969 monograph by Vasily Nalimov and Zinaida Mulchenko. A new paper in @QSS_ISSI reveals that around 15% of that monograph consists of fragments from Mulchenko’s PhD thesis on information flows in science — meaning that many core ideas of Soviet scientometrics were actually hers. Yet she almost disappeared from the historical record = #MatildaEffect

Historian Margaret W. #Rossiter exposed the long-standing erasure of women scientists and named it the #MatildaEffect, after Matilda Joslyn #Gage. Through decades of research, she restored hundreds of women to the scientific record and reshaped how history is written.

📢 Une fois de plus, les femmes astronomes sont effacées de l’histoire : le hors-série Ciel & Espace sur les “découvreurs de l’Univers” n’en mentionne qu’une seule.
Ce silence répète l’effet Matilda : nier ou minimiser les apports des femmes en science.
Nous exigeons une réécriture inclusive et factuelle de l’histoire de l’astronomie.
✊ Pour que les filles d’aujourd’hui aient des modèles.

No flowers today but the lets appreciate the women everywhere.
For example in science: "Timeline of women in science" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_women_in_science
They are many. And they are hidden as Margaret Rossiter has coined the #MatildaEffect

Sigh...I wish, they would have included the fact that the first person to conclude that rising #CO2 levels would change atmospheric temperature and could affect climate was Eunice Newton Foote, a woman:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_climate_change_scienceBias against acknowledging the achievements of women scientists whose work is attributed to their male colleagues is called the #MatildaEffect

“When I asked Rosemary why she left physics ..without completing her PhD ..her response was pragmatic. Living in a time of food rations, housing shortages and great sacrifice, and with no time-saving appliances or childcare for their three girls, she decided that it would be best for physics if Peter kept working. #matildaeffect: female scientists’ contributions are often overlooked or attributed to their male counterparts.

In 1949, Rosemary Brown and collaborators published a series of papers which proved #ParityViolation and led to the discovery of kaons.
After marrying, she left physics to keep house. Her innovations and discoveries have sinve then tended to be attributed to her PhD advisor or her husband (who, to his credit, did properly cite Brown, but sexist society gonna sexist).
