Rossiter used the Matilda effect to explain the discrimination that women had experienced as scientists. Women were denied having contributed to science and women’s achievements were often attributed to men.The Matilda Effect was first described by 19th century suffragist and abolitionist Matilda Joslyn Gage in her essay "Woman as Inventor", and coined in 1993 by science historian Margaret W. Rossiter. The Matilda effect is related to the Matthew Effect, since those who don’t deserve more credit.

Zientziaren arloko emakume eta neskatoen eguna da bai otsailaren 11n bai bihar, bai eta hurrengo egunetan ere.

Women in Science day is held on February 11, but also tomorrow and the days after tomorrow.

Sarea arakatzen #EmakumeakZientzian @txiolandian By Jone E. and Unai G. Traolek artikulu interesgarriak aurkitzen lagundu digute. Ingelesez #WomenInScience traola aurkitu dugu #EmakumeakZientzian terminoaren baliokide, frantsesez #FemmesEnScience, gaztelaniaz #MujeresEnCiencia eta EHUko katedrak #MujeresConCiencia da gaztelaniaz darabilen traola. Mujeres con Ciencia blogaren editorea Geometria eta Topologiako irakasle den Marta Macho da.

By 4. DBH Zientzia Kaierak dibulgazio artikulu orokorrak argitaratzen ditu euskaraz eta atal berezia du emakume zientzialariei buruzko sarrerak biltzeko. Zientzialari atalean ikusezinak diren emakumeak argitara ekartzen ditu eta ikus-entzunezko materiala publikatzen dute. Sarean askotan bertxiotutako artikuluek Zientzia Kaiera eta Mujeres con Ciencia blogetara eraman gaituzte. Emakume zientzialariei eta sistema zientifikoko emakumeen egoerari buruzko artikuluak aurkitu ditugu. Zientzia eta Teknologian diharduten eta ziharduten emakumeen lana ezagutzeko ezinbesteko argitalpenak dira.

Irudi ederrak aurkitu ditugu. Batetik, doodle bilduma hau pinterest-en. Bestetik, zigiluen bilduma Mujeres con Ciencia blogean.

Top female scientists By 4. DBH On February 11 we celebrate the day of Girls and Women in Science. On this day, we celebrate that women also have the right to participate and that we have to treat both genres the same way. Therefore, we have to remember the great female scientists on this day. We have seen that a lot profiles of women scientists have been posted and that the achievement and work of these female scientists have been shared and still are being shared with the hashtag #EmakumeakZientzian or #WomenInScience. For example, we have read that the Basque‐Cantabrian basin originated 250 years ago by watching this video.

Maia developed her project at Donostia International Physics Center and the University of the Basque Country. More info

My favourite scientist is a woman We talked about the scientists we could name. Everybody mentioned Madame Curie, but most of the scientist we mentioned were men. Where are these invisible women? Why aren’t they in our textbooks? We read about this initiative that asked primary students to illustrate their favourite women in science.
