I hope you realize that the names you are coming up with are from long, long time ago. And these names do not prove anything except the fact that women were treated as second-class citizens in that era and did not have easy access to education and the workplace to go out and be the next Albert Einstein or Abraham Lincoln. This does not prove anything about female inferiority or male superiority, all it goes to prove is that society has suppressed women's rights throughout history. And that progress is now at its peak.
One example that immediately comes to mind is that of Watson and Crick who won the Nobel prize for proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. Later, it was discovered, that this was actually Rosalind Franklin's discovery, but Watson and Crick took all the credit. I am sure there are numerous examples such as this one that failed to make it into history books throughout the years.
