I’m a huge advocate of science and the spread of scientific literacy. Science is a way for us to better understand the universe and our place within it. To me, science is a means to enlightenment. While science might be a great way to explain a myriad of things, it hasn’t always been a shining example of fairness and equality. Below are a short list of women in science who had their ideas, and the credit for their discoveries, stolen from them.
#1. Ada Lovelace
#2. Dorothy Hodgkin
#3. Emmy Noether
#4. Lise Meitner
#5 Marie Tharp
#6. Nettie Stevens
#7. Rosalind Franklin
