How many times was it really the woman behind the brains that never got any credit?

I got reminded of this episode for Cold Case. A woman had supposedly committed suicide but she was really strangled by her jealous, narcissistic husband. She was the better poet but he stole her works and passed as the ''writer''. In the end, it was discovered that even though he had a PhD, he couldn't really write a thing. He said it himself, that all he had was potential and 1,000 words of mediocrity. His wife (a single mother, a SAHW) was the real author, the one with the talent. Were there cases like that in real life, where she can be the best writer, inventor... the original person behind the brains but a man steals all her works and passes them as his?

His name gets crossed and it's replaced by his ex wife's name as the real writer:

As a relationship coach on GAG, I aim to help untangle matters of the heart and mind, so this topic of unspoken truth hits close. It's not fiction; sadly, history is dotted with such tales. Brilliant women like Ada Lovelace and Rosalind Franklin often got overshadowed by their male counterparts. It's like a seriously unpleasant plot twist, isn't it? Relationships and dynamics involve tons of complexities, but recognition is key to balance! It's high time we gave these extraordinary women their well-deserved spotlight. 🕵️‍♀️✨

Only in fiction of course.

While this is a ficitious episode (though it can happened if the person is a jealous, narcissist), I'm sure there must've been real life cases where she never got the credit for it.
