From the beginning, women have made significant contributions to the fields of mathematics and science. But despite the fact that these pioneering women have changed the way we live in and think about the world, you might not be familiar with their names and faces. From the first woman to earn a Nobel Prize to a legendary primatologist, here are 30 amazing women who changed math and science forever.
Donna Strickland (Born in )
Donna Strickland won the Nobel Prize in physics in for her role in developing a "method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses," according to the Nobel Foundation. She was born in Guelph, Ontario, and dove into the world of laser and electro-optics while a student at McMaster University. In , while getting her doctorate at the University of Rochester in New York, Strickland and French physicist Gérard Mourou created ultrashort, high-intensity laser pulses known as chirped pulse amplificatio
