It's dumb to ignore the actual researcher when its the research you're benefitting from. She ended up getting nothing from her research which was pretty common for women back then because it is well known that it was not socially acceptable to allow women to overshadow men with their achievements. This was the early 20th century. At that point of time, any similar scenario was probably sexism. Everyone was sexist. The likelihood is not low.
