Summary:
- Margaret W. Rossiter was a renowned historian who specialized in the history of science and the role of women in science.
- She coined the term "Matilda effect" to describe the phenomenon where women scientists often have their contributions overlooked or attributed to their male colleagues.
- Rossiter's own work and legacy faced a form of "erasure," where her important contributions to the field of science history were not given the recognition they deserved during her lifetime.
