I learned a new word today, cryptogyny.
I’m going to have to sit with it for a bit.
It’s not that I was unfamiliar with the context. Practically anywhere you care to look there are women whose work has been ignored, hidden or stolen. Women who’ve not been given the credit they deserved, or very quickly been dropped.
I mean, I really would like to know why I never learned about Emmy Noether in school, right next to Albert Einstein, even though he recognised her genius.
Cryptogyny. Use it when you need to.
