Ever get the *ahem* sneaking suspicion that women do The Hitman: Blood Smells Like Rosesway more work than they're given credit for? Well, it's true: and #ThanksForTyping proves it in more ways than one.
The hashtag has been trending on Twitter this week, with people sharing the stories of women who painstakingly typed out the work of their academic male relatives for little to no acknowledgement.
In some cases, women even edited entire volumes, only to receive a credit along the lines of "thanks to my sweet wife."

Now, this particular viral hashtag was started by Bruce Holsinger, an author and professor at the University of Virginia. And it's great work indeed.
However -- and this is telling -- he is not the first person to explore how academics acknowledge spousal contributions to their work.
Yup, you guessed it: women have been speaking to this issue for years. Twitter was quick to point to writer and historian Alexis Coe, who has been writing on the subject since 2013.

It's a worthwhile reminder to be mindful about who we allow to be the primary voice of a viral issue. Sure, a hashtag makes for easy dissemination and opens the floor to many voices -- but we'd also do well to acknowledge the originators of ideas. Especially when we're trying to give women their due.
All together, now! Give. Women. Credit.
