Pathbreakers are atypical group members whose competence goes unrecognized

Evidence

The inaccuracy of stereotypes should be understood in the context of the group’s changing status. Group members who are in the forefront of desiring access to new roles are ordinarily somewhat atypical of their group. They often have the characteristics needed for these desired roles, but their competence is not acknowledged. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A.
