A Twitter thread on 'having a PhD whilst female' inspires stories of having work expertise accepted.

Historian Louise Raw, who contributes to BBC Radio London, began the thread highlighting the annoyances faced by women like her with PhDs. At her first ever conference, Dr Pullan was casually overlooked by people who assumed her husband, a mathematician, would be there to discuss the topic of superconductivity.
When people found out she was the physicist,"they sort of muttered, 'Oh!' and then quickly found someone else to talk to".Dr Pullan left academia after her PhD and went into industry.
