I knew of the male Shannon because of the Nyquist - Shannon theorem. Harry Nyquist actually came up with some of these ideas but, while never having been proved wrong about literally anything, worked for practical applications and had little time for rigorous mathematical fleshing out of the whys and wherefores. Betty, of course, I had not heard of. Shades of the physicist Lisa Meitner. This is literally the only piece on either Shannon I had ever read.
