When you think of women in science most people think of Rosalind Franklin or Marie Curie but for famous scientists in general, even Google can only name a few women. In fact it is hard to find a person who is able to name any more famous female scientists as they are simply not recognised.
For as long as men have made it in the world of science, women have yearned to contribute just as much with little to no recognition. With such a male dominated written history it is no surprise that women have not been acknowledged in the same way.
