Can You Name 5 Women Scientists?

Who Is a Famous Woman Scientist?

Once when I was attending a seminar at college, the speaker asked us to name five scientists. Everyone had more than five names to add to the list. After that, he asked someone on the front row to tell the names of five women scientists. The student couldn’t name anyone other than Marie Curie! Someone else mentioned Ada Lovelace and that was it.

This must probably be the situation for most of us. So, in this article, we are going to look at five other women scientists who made remarkable contributions in the world of science, yet are not celebrated enough. We will be covering the following women scientists:

  1. Emmy Noether
  2. Rosalind Franklin
  3. Henrietta Leavitt
  4. Ida Noddack
  5. Janaki Ammal
