Behind every great man is a great woman who couldnt showcase her talents because shes a woman

And the ones who somehow achieved great things in an era where they weren't allowed to were secretly men on the inside all along /s

It makes me so angry that there have been huge mainstream debates about how Mary Shelley's husband actually wrote much of Frankenstein (he DID NOT. Just did very minor editing probably less than a publisher now) whilst actual work by women gets glossed over SMH.

Interesting theory, especially in light of his statement to a prospective employer that to employ him was to have access to the talents of his entire family. And it doesn't seem farfetched that as a talented musician and copyist of his works, that Anna Magdalena would not have, at least on occasion, helped with editing and composing.
