Discover the stories of 10 women who made major contributions to science, business, and the arts, and who were later denied credit for their accomplishments. Rosalind Franklin, whose work was critical to the understanding of DNA, but who was denied credit; another is Hedy Lamarr, the beautiful actress who was also an unheralded inventor. In some cases, the contributions of the women, were not only erased, but claimed (falsely) by others.
