> I think Turing is probably the most famous in his own time to have been in “Overlooked”. Although many on HN have probably never heard of her, I would argue Fannie Farmer was just about as famous as a woman could be in her time. Not only was she the Martha Stewart media mogul of the early 1900's but she was one of the early pioneers of modern nutrition science. She was so well respected in the field that she was invited to teach a course at Harvard Medical School decades before women would even be permitted to enroll. She's also the reason we all have measuring spoons and cups in our kitchens.
