Women didn't invent the wifi???

Serious

I was just scrolling through Instagram and came across a reel where the person explicitly stated that it wasn't Hedy lamarr who invented the wifi.

She with GEORGE ANTHEIL made a frequency-hopping radio system intended to prevent radio-controlled torpedoes from being jammed during World War II.

Later on Scientists made changes in it and now its the wifi as we see it is.

And even then why didn't the man she worked with got the recognition like she did?

Why is it always "A woman invented wifi" which is clearly false?
