"6 Women Scientists Who Were Snubbed Due to Sexism" is an interesting starting point for women in Science. I think I will take all of it out and expand from it for this part.
Subjectivities of Science
An informal, unprofessional, but honest journey to reflect on Gender and Science, using other forms of prejudice within the scientific cult.

Trotula and the Ladies of Salerno
"Tortula and the Ladies of Salerno" is an article which argues that Trotula being a woman in the first place, his theory is that it was actually a man but opted to signing as a woman because that way he can justifying knowing so much about the world of women.
Good example of how women were written out of history actually.
Published in 1940.

What is the topic I am studying?
So to understand gender within science there are several branches and directions I can take and I need to pick one. So let's brainstorm, what can we study within this topic:
- Women's role within science (aka sexism within the science field ). For the sake of labeling, I will refer to this sometimes as Women in Science.
- How social prejudice infiltrates into science. In this section, Gender can expanded to include the women/men dichotomy, in addition to example of LGBT studies. Paralelism can also be made with scientific racism.
