‘An Error That Ascribes to’ — Hertha Ayrton Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“An error that ascribes to a man what was actually the work of a woman has more lives than a cat.” Hertha Ayrton wrote this to the Westminster Gazette in 1909 after the press handed Pierre Curie credit for Marie’s radium work — Ayrton herself was the first woman to read a paper before the Royal Society, in 1904. She named the pattern decades before it had a name: the misattribution that keeps coming back to life, generation after generation.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
