Margaret Rossiter, a historian who passed away at 81, dedicated her life to uncovering the hidden history of women in science.
Her influential 'Women Scientists in America' trilogy exposed how women's scientific achievements were often ignored or misattributed.
Rossiter's research challenged traditional narratives and highlighted the significant but overlooked contributions of numerous female scientists.
She coined the term 'Matilda effect' to describe this historical bias, leaving a powerful legacy for future generations.
