I thought would try and think of five famous women scientists to make the point that there aren't that many of them and they tend to get overlooked.
(1) Marie Curie: Polish physicist who did the early work on radium
(2) Lise Meitner, Austrian physicist who split the atom
(3) Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin: British chemist who synthesised penicillin
(4) Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, British physician who founded a women-only hospital
(5) Sophia Brahe, Danish horticulturalist and astronomer
