Votes:0 Female Nobel Prize Laureates brought to you by The Nobel Prize Internet Archive In 1903, only two years after the Nobel Foundation was established, a
Nobel Prize was awarded to a woman, Marie
Curie , for the first time. Women have been winning Nobel Prizes
ever since. In fact, one woman, Bertha von
Suttner was influential in convincing Alfred Nobel to establish a
Prize for Peace. Women have won Prizes in all categories with the
exception of Economics (which was established
in 1968 and first awarded in 1969). Feel free to let your opinions be
heard on how we can increase the role of women in the Arts & Sciences on our public forum !. Physics: 1903 Marie Sklodowska Curie 1963 Maria Goeppert Mayer Chemistry: 1911 Marie Sklodowska Curie 1935 Irene Joliot-Curie 1964 Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Phy Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Gabriel GarcÍa MÁrquez (1928- ) For Colonel Aureliano BuendÍa it meant the limits of atonement. He suddenly found himself suffering from the same indignation that he had felt in his youth over the body of the woman who had been beaten to death because she had been bitten by a rabid dog. He looked at the groups of bystanders in front of the house and with his old stentorian voice, restored by a deep disgust with himself, he unloaded upon them the burden of hate that he could no longer bear in his heart. "One of these days," he shouted, "I'm going to arm my boys so we can get rid of these shitty gringos!" During the course of that week, at different places along the coast, his seventeen sons were hunted down like rabbits by invisible criminals who aimed at the center of their crosses of ash.

Votes:0 Marie Curie Picture of Marie Curie The Bettmann Archive Marie Curie was a physicist and chemist who lived between 1867-1934. She contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays . She was born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw, Poland, then part of the Russian empire. Women were not permitted to study at the University of Warsaw, and Maria, together with her sister, attended classes at night in an illegal "floating university". When Maria was 24, she moved to Paris to study mathematics, physics and chemistry at Sorbonne University. There she met and married Pierre Curie. Together they studied radioactive materials and discovered two new elements: polonium, named after Poland, and radium. They did their early work in difficult conditions, in crowded and damp Read More Go to Site
