About.
My Project.
My name is Enzo, and this project aims to highlight the journey of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, a forgotten pioneer of astrophysics, as well as the phenomenon of the Matilda Effect, which refers to the minimization of discoveries made by women.
Through this site, I wanted to rehabilitate these female figures of science too often erased from history, by combining research, popularization, and pop culture (movies, books, series).
My approach is based on a desire to make science fairer and more accessible, while recalling that major discoveries are not the result of a single gender, but of a collective effort.
This project is both a tribute and a realization: understanding the past to better recognize the women of science of today and tomorrow.
