Could also add Marie Curie in there. I didn’t realise until recently that there is a lot of controversy over France “claiming her achievements” since she was born and educated in Poland.
I think you missed the point of the list. See the third line? "Too bad a man was given all the credit." The France/Poland thing isn't related.
I thought her husband took a lot of the credit at the time. Might be mistaken about that though.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie
While she shared her first Nobel prize with her husband, her second was all hers. I'd argue she's much more recognizable and celebrated today than Pierre. I can't say the same when they were living but at least it's nice that we got that part right
It's not sexist to credit the french. France is gay. /s
