This also leaves out the person or organizations who erased the womens' names. Sometimes childbirth, disease, or early death is the cause. Usually, it has been a male collaborater (or husband) who takes credit himself for profit. Sometimes, the entire organization made rules that didn't allow for womens' credit -
@EUCommission Ada Lovelace - first woman programmer.
@fenixmaster @EUCommission No, the first programmer. Exactly by calling her ‘the first woman programmer’ you suggest their were men before her. There were none.
She invented the game.
(That’s why one of the first programming languages is called Ada).

I still believe that more women in politics worldwide would help implementing a better world. The men has clearly failed big time so far.
@perjakobsen @EUCommission Crises like COVID showed the world that female leaders are very, very capable of handling crises indeed. New-Zealand and Finland come to mind.
