There is a Stirling's law, which says that in many cases someone else gets the name associated with the invention rather than the original inventor. It was easy to sideline women in the early century just like Watson and Crick did with Rosalin Franklin. In the case of GC, Martin and Synge get the credit partly because they published in English and Erika published in German. This article gives a nice summary: "The recognition of Erika Cremer for the first reported use of gas c...hromatography has largely been overlooked due to circumstances of history. As a woman in the 1940s and 1950s, Dr. Cremer had an uphill battle. Although she had an esteemed PhD in Chemistry from the University of Berlin, the prejudice against female scientists prevented her from obtaining a professorship. During World War II, she was finally able to obtain a position at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, as most males were enlisted in the army. Erika Cremer’s first attempt to publish her theory of gas (adsorption) chromatography in 1944 was thwarted when her accepted manuscript was destroyed at the printers during an air-raid in Vienna."
