The Matilda Effect
First of ManyWhat if history didn’t forget… but simply chose not to remember?In this first episode of First of Many, hosts Susan Osman and Rachel Branson step into a new chapter — exploring the hidden stories of women whose work shaped the world, but whose names were left behind.We begin with the Matilda Effect — the systematic under-recognition of women in science and discovery, where groundbreaking ideas were often credited to male colleagues instead.As we launch this podcast exactly 100 years after the birth of Matilda Joslyn Gage (24 March 1926), we reflect on the research, revelations, and recurring patterns we uncovered while developing this series — and why these stories still matter today.This episode is both a starting point and a lens: a way of seeing history differently.Because once you notice the pattern… you begin to see it everywhere. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
