Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.

Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter. History called her a ‘housewife’.
Marthe Gautier found Down Syndrome’s extra chromosome. Her boss took the spotlight.
Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang Amadeus’ name survived, hers vanished.
Janet Sobel pioneered drip painting. Jackson Pollock was the genius.

This International Women’s Day, let’s restore their stories and give the credit they deserve!

I still believe that more women in politics worldwide would help implementing a better world. The men has clearly failed big time so far.

@perjakobsen @EUCommission Crises like COVID showed the world that female leaders are very, very capable of handling crises indeed. New-Zealand and Finland come to mind.
