Also this issue reminds me those women behind the one of the most famous statisticians, the founder of Biometrika, Karl Pearson. AFAIK, he employed a large number of female workers to do those tedious, mechanical and fragmented calculations, which supported his discoveries on statistics. How would you draw the line between his ideas and papers on statistics and those female employees? Would you like to share his honor with those great females?
