For the last several years I have focused on publishing about women. Women (past and present) have often not been rewarded with publicity or acknowledgement of contribution. This is especially true of those before modern times. Because of the subservience, desired or not, of women, there have also been instances where a man has taken credit for the work of a woman. On the other hand, some men have been careful to acknowledge the importance of women. The male botanists of old are a good example of this care. In addition, there have been many women who are, and were, activists, no matter what!
