Your argument makes no sense to me.

Article: “We don’t know much about this woman because she was overshadowed by her famous brother.”

You: “How do we know she was a great scientist? We don’t even know much about her, but everyone in science knows of her brother!”

Yeah... that’s literally what the article is about.

The argument makes sense if you take this question seriously:

> How do we know she was a great scientist?

My point was that the article describes few achievements that would merit that description.
