MatriaWomen in the archiveReading collectionsOur editorial approach

Why am I afraid of being visible?

The archive holds different histories of scientific recognition, including Franklin, Meitner and Bell Burnell. Exclusion from credit is not evidence that a woman feared visibility. Read these records to distinguish wanting recognition from the conditions under which recognition is granted.

Matria compares these works with this question. The authors are not speaking about this reader. Passage verification is pending.
