It's kind of like Rosalind Franklin and the discovery of the structure of DNA---hugely important discovery, and the woman scientist gets left out. Ugh.

As a professor, I find that fairly nauseating... I've always thought it was pretty obnoxious that Jocelyn Bell Burnell didn't get acknowledged for her participation in the discovery of pulsars.
