Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell, know as Bell Burnell, lived in a very wealthy family with her parents. She attended the Preparatory Department at Lurgan College, where, like the other girls, was not allowed to study science until her parents protested against the school's policies. She failed an exam used for general and professional courses. Her parents sent her to Mount School in York, a girls' boarding school run by the Religious Society of Friends. There she meets Mr. Tillott, to whom she attributes a large part of his vocation for Physics.

She discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, with which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, and in 1978 she received the J. Robert 

Oppenheimer Memorial Prize.

She was an Chinese Physicist, and made major contributions to nuclear Physics. she worked on the Manhattan project, where she helped to create the process of separating uranium into uranium-235 and uranium-238 by gaseous diffusion.
After World War II she began her work on beta A emission, a theory known as the "law of conservation of parity" which predicted that radioactive atoms departed symmetrically, however, a new particle KAON was discovered,, that did not follow the rules, no one had observed until Chien did so and noticed that the atoms of these particles departed asymmetrically, with this she retraced the law of conservation of parity and changed the practice of physics forever.

In 1975, she was the first woman president of the American Physics society and, in the same year, received the national medal of science by the president. In 1978 he received the Wolf Medal, one of the most important awards after the Nobel Prize, being the first woman to receive this honor, for her contribution in the research on the beta emission.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin discovered the structure of penicillin and insulin during World War II, becoming the third woman to win a Nobel Prize

Following her graduation with a degree in Chemistry, Elion began working with Burroughs Wellcome, where she stayed for more than 40 years. There, she created ground-breaking drugs to combat a variety of diseases like malaria, leukemia, and gout.

The invention of a novel strategy for drug development was one of Elion's greatest achievements to medicine. Together with George Hitchings, her research collaborator, she tried to create medications that focused on sick cells rather than the entire body's cells.

Elion created a number of significant medications throughout her career, including acyclovir, which is used to treat herpes, and azathioprine, which is used to treat leukemia. For her contributions to medicine, she has won numerous accolades and medals, including the 1988 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

When Gertrude Elion passed away in 1999, the medical industry was left with a lasting legacy. His work on developing drugs transformed the trajectory of modern medicine and helped save countless lives.

Margaret Burbidge, winner of the Helen B. Wamer Astronomy Prize (1949), the Bruce Medal (1982), the RAS Gold Medal (2005), among other awards. In the 1960s-70s, Margaret Burbidge studied the rotation curves of galaxies and quasars, discovering the most distant astronomical object then known. 
From 1979 to 1988, Margaret Burbidge was the first director of UCSD's Center for Astronomy and Space Sciences, where she worked from 1962 until her retirement.

Her relevant work was well accepted during her lifetime, but after her death, her discoveries gained motoriety .

Franklin's work was so important to the discovery of the structure of DNA, that Watson suggested it would be ideal for her to be awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, along with Wilkins, but the Nobel Committee does not make posthumous nominations.

Franklin is best known for her work with X-ray diffraction imaging of DNA while working at King's College, London, which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix, for which James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins shared the Prize. Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.

Shirley was born on 16 September 1933 , as Vera Buchthal to Arnold Buchthal, a judge in Dortmund who was Jewish and who lost his post to the Nazi regime, and a non-Jewish Viennese mother. She was born in Germany (naturalised British in 1951). 

She was placed in the care of foster parents living in the Midlands town of Sutton Coldfield. She was later re-united with her biological parents, but said she "never really bonded with them". 

Shirley attributes her early childhood trauma as being the driving force behind her ability to keep up with changes in her life and career.

She attended the Oswestry Girls' High School. Mathematics was not taught at the school, so she received permission after assessment to take those lessons at the local boys school. She would later recall that, after her Kindertransport and wartime experiences, "in Oswestry I had five wonderful years of peace".

After marriage to thePhysicist, Derek Shirley, in 1959 (d. 2021), Shirley founded, with a capital of £6, the software company Freelance Programmers, (later F International, then Xansa, since acquired in 2001 by Steria and now part of the Sopra Steria Group). Having experienced sexism in her workplace, "being fondled, being pushed against the wall",she wanted to create job opportunities for women with dependents, and predominantly employed women, with only three male programmers in the first 300 staff, until the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 made that practice illegal. She also adopted the name "Steve" to help her in the male-dominated business world, given that company letters signed using her real name were not responded to.

Vera became interested in the mysteries of the universe as a child. A few years later she was responsible for confirming the existence of Dark Matter, she was also inspired by great women in astronomy, she was the first woman to use observation telescopes. In 1960, Rubin began to deepen his studies on galaxies accompanied by his research colleague Kent Ford. Rubin, known as the mother of Dark Matter, defended gender equality in a scientific career, inspiring many women to this day.

She was awarded several prizes: Bruce Medal; Dickson Prize in Science; Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society; National Medal of Science.
