Cryptogyny

Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first radio pulsar. For this discovery, in 1974 a Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to her supervisor Antony Hewish and to Martin Ryle, citing Hewish and Ryle for their pioneering work in radio-astrophysics. Jocelyn Burnell was left out.

Cryptogyny is the recurring phenomenon, throughout history and in most cultures, of hiding women and female references in different spheres of society, especially the most prestigious ones.[1]
