The lecture was arranged by “Folkeuniversitetet” and was based on the University of Copenhagen. The book is a graphic novel and follows four (partially) forgotten […]
I’ve written – and drawn – a graphic history about some of the women in the history of science, who were forgotten. The book is in Danish only (so far) and bears the title “Matilda-effekten”. The Matilda effect was coined by the american historian Margaret Rossiter and she choose the name Matilda after Matilda Roslyn […]
