McClintock (1902-92) has been the poster child of struggles for gender equality in science and academia in general, her genetic discoveries possible because of her intuitive feminine approach being ignored or disbelieved until men made the same ones decades later when her genius was belatedly recognized and honored. Comfort (history of recent science, George Washington U.) claims that the myth is not true: she was recognized and awarded for her work in the 1930s and 1940s, worked at a prestigious laboratory, and was as rational as other scientists. Her rediscovery in the 1970s, he says, was in fact the final rejection of her main theory and the realization that a small part of her findings, which she had neglected, was in fact very important.
