You're saddened? Why? As you say Rubin gets appropriate credit for her work within her field. Plus she doesn't even believe in Dark Matter, she made a very important contribution but now she's working on a competing theory that few care about. Nobody knows who Kent Ford is, he co-authored Rubin's big paper. What about Jan Oort? He came up with the idea of Dark Matter in the 1930's and some say found the first evidence for it. What about Fritz Zwicky? Some say he's the one who found the first evidence and is the one really being left out of history.[0] We're being taught to feel bad for women in science in situations where we don't feel bad for men. Science is full of forgotten men who made massive contributions to the world, this is about picking the woman and figuring out how to mythologize her.
