Historian Margaret Rossiter: Champion of Women in Science

Margaret Rossiter, a renowned historian, recently passed away at the age of 81, leaving behind a significant legacy.

Her groundbreaking trilogy, "Women Scientists in America," meticulously documented the systematic erasure of women's contributions to science.

Rossiter's work brought to light the often-overlooked achievements of countless women, challenging historical narratives.

Through her research and the coining of 'the Matilda effect', she championed the recognition of women's scientific accomplishments.
