Not just writing. Medical discoveries, scientific achievements, all sorts of things were stolen by bad people from women that should have been credited for their work.

e.g. Rosalind Franklin, Lise Meitner, Katherine Johnson, and the recently deceased Margaret Hamilton.

Yeah 👍

Sure. Also Einstein stole the Theory of Relativity from his wife.

Reminds me of the movie “Big Eyes.” Good movie and follows that theme.

Too true

“But honey, actually you’re sharing the honor with me because you’re “MRS” Smith” 😁

Huh?

Very true. And so many women wrote under a man's name in order to be taken seriously. The Brontes became Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Evans (one of my favourite writers), Georges Sand etc

100% true

Oh yes

The F. Scott Fitzgerald story

not just writers

Genuine question, what are some examples of this?

Yep.

And inventions

Crazy how often that happened

Happened all the time

Or they let her do ‘a little light editing’!

Very often true - and it wasn’t confined to writing.

Now it's even easier!!!

Truth!

Scientists too.

Watched The End of Oak Street and I got those vibes from Mrs Huddleston. She edited her husbands work for years and when Denise wanted help editing her book, she was happy to help someone who appreciated her time and expertise.
