Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter. History called her a ‘housewife’.Marthe Gautier found Down Syndrome’s extra chromosome. Her boss took the spotlight.Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang Amadeus’ name survived, hers vanished.Janet Sobel pioneered drip painting. Jackson Pollock was the genius.This International Women’s Day, let’s restore their stories and give the credit they deserve!

@EUCommission the genocide you facilitate/reward in Palestine disproportionately impact women. Do you think the women you name above would approve of you appropriating their names?

@EUCommission It is a wonder the world has advanced at all with jealous, misogynist and resentful men holding it back at every turn. (p s. I'm a bloke!)

@EUCommission Rosalind Franklin was the true pioneer who laid the ground work for the discovery of DNA , yet she died young of cancerous stomach tumours, unrecognised.

@EUCommission I still believe that more women in politics worldwide would help implementing a better world. The men has clearly failed big time so far.#politics #womensday

@EUCommissionWhen I heard the name of the first one, the first I thought of was the German coffee brand. According to Wikipedia it IS named after her, so I'd say she isn't completely forgotten.But to be clear, she is the exception on the list. And I'm sure there are a ton of other forgotten names that could go on the list too.(The name Sobel also seems familiar, but I fon't know if that was the same Sobel).

@EUCommission Florence Nightingale, the "Nurse". In fact: an outstanding statistician, inventor of the Polar Area Chart/Rose Diagram, organizational reformer in health care, a key figure in the development of evidence-based medicine.

@EUCommission Oh, I knew about Melitta. We learned that in school, I think.

That's right, @fenixmaster! Marie Skłodowska Curie is an inspiration! That's why we named a programme to fund researchers after her! For the past 30 years, the Maire Skłodowska Curie actions have funded talented researchers to move abroad and work in other countries.
