Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.
But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •There are varying accounts of whether Foote was permitted to present her work in 1956. What we know is 1) a man did it for her & 2) many thought women were incapable of contributing in science.
Also, Foote's background is fascinating & deserves further reading. She was an advocate for women's rights & involved in many historical events in US history. /2

Especially on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I encourage regular folks to consider contributing content to Wikipedia articles, maybe even start a new one for a notable but overlooked woman in science.
