Correct, Uhlenbeck was given the proper recognition in the mathematical community, but people outside that community don't know her. She is not an icon for Women in Science and neither is someone like Emmy Noether, or even in the world of cryptography, someone like Shafi Goldwasser -- they are all unknown.
But instead an actress with zero scientific research publications, no PhD, and just this one piano roll patent that she sent, unsolicited, to the Navy which rejected it -- she is high on the marquee for "women in science". That's a shame.
