Proponent
[This blog entry] by Athene Donald suggests that Rossiter is the first one to have coined the term. In any case, her article makes no mention of Asimov.

Not sure what to make of this
"While many women suffer the act of the Matilda Effect, there are few cases in which they do get the credit the deserve like that of Maria Goeppert-Mayer who was credited the Nobel Prize, even though for a few years she was not working due to the anti-nepotism[11] laws her contributions were still noted."

I started to try and edit this sentence, which has several problems with its style. But then it occurred to me that it is mostly just opinion anyway, so I didn't know what to do. I think I'll just flag it up here as "allowing for improvement" and leave it to more experience editors to decide what to do. STeamTraen (talk) 23:43, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Marie Curie effect??
the article lists maie curie among those suffering from the matilda effect: "Nineteenth- and twentieth-century cases illustrating the Matilda effect include those of Nettie Stevens,[2] Maria Skłodowska Curie, Lise Meitner, Marietta Blau, Rosalind Franklin, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell." however m.curie is rather an example of the contrary (2 nobel prizes). so either the article needs to include some explanation on how she did not get due acknowledgement, or she should not be listed among the neglected women. common knowledge is that she became not just all time most successful scientist among women but probably among scientists of both sexes. propose to delete her name from the sentence cited above for she is not a victim of matilda effect. please dont hesitate to speak up if you dont agree with this. 80.99.38.199 (talk) 19:44, 13 May 2018 (UTC).

Candace Pert and Solomon H. Snyder
See these two wikipedia entries: Candace Pert and the Work with Candace Pert section of Sol Snyder's wikipedia page. There are longer and more detailed accounts of the controversy. Some say that Snyder was denied a Nobel Prize because of Pert's claims of intellectual and experimental ownership of some of the important opioid projects and results. I hope that someone can come up with a fair write-up for the main article page. AdderUser (talk) 01:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
