> You know of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, but have you heard of Lewis Latimer?

His work was not as significant. Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Howard_Latimer#Technical... to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Edison_patents and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nikola_Tesla_patents

Ok. You know of Sally Ride but not Mae Jemison. Their work is equivalent.

You know of Watson and Crick, but not Rosalind Franklin. By you, I mean the general you.

I do know of Mae Jemison and Rosalind Franklin. Mae Jemison and Sally Ride, and Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick have a similar number of page views on Wikipedia, so I think they are all generally known about as well as each other. Maurice Wilkins less so.
