The
first woman to win the Nobel Prize
Marie
Curie
Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and in
Chemistry in 1911, making her the first woman to ever win the prize and the
first person to win it twice. In 2020, “women in science” was searched at an
all-time high around the world as women scientists dominated in fields that had
historically excluded them.
As of 2020, just 23 of the 622 Nobel Prizes awarded in the sciences have gone to women.
Despite the obstacles
women pursuing careers in STEM still face, their contributions to progress in
these fields is undeniable. In 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A.
Doudna won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work in developing a genetic
engineering technique known as CRISPR. Notably, this was the first time the
prize was shared by two women and no men.
