I am working on a book – a graphic novel / history about the Matilda effect (the systematic devaluation of female scientists). The book is centered around four scientists; two danish and two american, who all worked with polio and made significant contributions both to the general knowledge about the disease – and to the development of efficient vaccines in the mid-20th century. The book is planned to come out late November / early December 2025. I will also give a talk at “Folkeuniversitetet” about the book, the women and the Matilda effect in general (link about this talk here with possibility to assign). OBS! Both the book and the talk will be in Danish.
