I remember reading about Sarah Mapp a long time ago and I found it so cruel that her achievements were ignored in favour of taunting her looks. It reminds me Lyudmila Pavlichenko experiences during WW2 when she travelled to the USA. To this day, she is considered one of the best snipers with 309 kills. Despite this feat, American reporters disparaged her for her manly appearance and questioned her about nail polish, hair styles, and whether female Soviet soldiers could wear makeup in battle. A man would never be treated in the same way.
