• Mary Anning - fossil collector and paleontologist whose discovreies made fundamental changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth. • Ada Lovelace - mathematician considered to be the world’s first computer programmer. • Marie Curie - pioneer in the field of radioactivity, as well as the first person honored with two Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry. • Lise Meitner - nuclear physicist who was part of the team that discovered nuclear fission. • Emmy Noether - mathematician known for her groundbreaking contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics.  • Cecelia Payne - astronomer and astrophysicist who discovered that the universe is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.  • Barbara McClintock - cytogeneticist best known for her discovery of transposition which she used to demonstrate that genes are responsible for turning physical characteristics on and off.  • Grace Hopper - computer scientist who developed the COBOL computer programming language.  • Rachel Carson - marine biologist, conservationist, and author known for advancing the environmental movement.  • Dorothy Hodgkin - biochemist who advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography, a method used to determine the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules.  • Hedy Lamarr - both a popular Hollywood actress and an inventor who contributed to an early technique for frequency-hopping spread spectrum communications which paved the way for today’s wireless communications. • Rosalind Franklin - biophysicist whose work on X-­ray diffraction images of DNA led to her discovery of DNA double helix and her data was used to formulate Crick and Watson’s 1953 hypothesis. • Esther Lederberg - microbiologist who devised the first successful implementation of replica plating and helped discover and understand the genetic mechanisms of specialized transduction.  • Jane Goodall - anthropologist and primatologist known for her extraordinary study of the interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania.  • Jocelyn Bell Burnell - astrophysicist who discovered the first radio pulsars (signals coming from rapidly rotating neutron stars).  • Mae Jemison - engineer, physician, professor, and former NASA astronaut who became the first African American woman to travel to space.
