Mary Rowe … (PhD of MIT) ...

Mary Rowe extended in 1973 the term microaggression to include similar aggressions directed at women; eventually, the term came to encompass the casual degradation of any socially marginalized group, such as the poor and the disabled.[1] She also named the concept of "micro-inequities,” experienced by people who are nontraditional in any context. Rowe's work led to MIT’s having one of the nation's first harassment policies.[2]

Mary Rowe also coined the terms micro-inequities[wp] and micro-affirmations in 1973. In the original articles on this subject in the 1970s Mary Rowe defined micro-inequities as "apparently small events which are often ephemeral and hard-to-prove, events which are covert, often unintentional, frequently unrecognized by the perpetrator, which occur wherever people are perceived to be 'different'." She wrote about homophobia, reactions to perceived disabilities, reactions to the way people look, reverse discrimination against white and Black males in traditionally female environments, many varieties of religious slights; she collected instances of micro-inequities anywhere at work or in communities - anywhere in the world - that people are perceived to be "different."[3]
