Despite their major contributions, several pioneering women scientists, including Rosalind Franklin and Lise Meitner, remain underrecognized for their key discoveries in fields such as genetics and nuclear physics.
Field: Molecular Biology
Discovery: Key contributions to understanding the structure of DNA through X-ray diffraction images. Her work was crucial for the discovery of the DNA double helix, though she received little recognition during her lifetime.
Field: Physics
Discovery: Played a major role in the discovery of nuclear fission, which laid the groundwork for nuclear energy. Despite her significant contributions, her colleague Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize.
Field: Physics
Discovery: Conducted the famous Wu Experiment, which disproved the law of conservation of parity. Her work was fundamental to the Nobel-winning discovery of parity violation, yet she was overlooked for the prize.
Field: Chemistry
Discovery: Pioneered the use of X-ray crystallography to determine the structures of important biomolecules, including penicillin and insulin. She received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 but remains less known.
Field: Genetics
Discovery: Identified the role of X and Y chromosomes in determining sex. Her groundbreaking research was overshadowed by her male colleagues, though she was one of the first to link chromosomes to inheritance.
Field: Paleontology
Discovery: Made significant fossil discoveries, including the first complete Ichthyosaurus skeleton, which helped shape early understanding of prehistoric life. Despite her contributions, she was largely ignored by the scientific community.
Field: Astrophysics
Discovery: Discovered the first radio pulsars while she was a graduate student. Her professor received the Nobel Prize for the discovery, but Bell Burnell's role was largely downplayed.
