famed women scientists in history who made crucial discoveries and inventions in science. Among them, we can mention a few
Marie Curie (1867-1934), a Polish-born French physicist and chemist best known for her contributions to radioactivity.
Maria Mayer (1906-1972), a German-born American physicist who received a Nobel Prize for suggesting the nuclear shell model of the atomic nucleus.
Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), a British biophysicist, is best known for her work on coal and graphite molecular structures and X-ray diffraction.
