Today we remember Nettie Maria Stevens, born #OnThisDay in 1861.
She was the geneticist who discovered sex chromosomes.
Because of sexism, she didn't get credit for her revelatory work, but today her legacy lives on. #WomenInScience via @voxdotcom

“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are.
Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.”
