(Please, scroll down to read in English.)
Termillä Matilda-ilmiö tai -efekti tarkoitetaan taipumusta kieltää tai häivyttää naisten tieteelliset saavutukset ja antaa kunnia niistä miehille. Tieteenhistorioitsija Margaret W. Rossiter (s. 1944) nimesi ilmiön feministi ja ihmisoikeusaktivisti Matilda Joslyn Gagen (1826–1898) mukaan (1).
Vuonna 2015 YK julisti 11.2. kansainväliseksi ”Naiset ja tytöt tieteessä” -päiväksi, joka innostaa ja kutsuu tyttöjä ja naisia suuntautumaan luonnontieteisiin, vastustaa sukupuoliharhaa ja torjuu naisten ja tyttöjen syrjintää luonnontieteissä, tekniikassa ja matematiikassa.
