>Despite being fired for getting married, she became the first elected president of the British Phycological Society in 1952. Today, Drew-Baker is known in Japan as "the mother of the sea," and every year a festival is held in her honor in Uto City.

I wonder if she gets extra recognition from at least half of the Japanese population, for the circumstances surrounding her firing, given that being fired for daring to be both female and married is still apparently the established practice in many Japanese companies today.
