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.

The term Matilda effect refers to the tendency to deny or hide women’s achievements in science and give the credit to men. Science historian Margaret W. Rossiter (born 1944) named the phenomenon after feminist and human rights activist Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898) (1).
In 2015, the UN’s declared 11 February as The International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It is a day to inspire and engage girls and women in science, to defy gender biases and defeat discrimination that holds women and girls back in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
