Features: Since Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize with his will in 1895, women have fought for the right to receive education and training. Although these Nobel laureate women are still a minority among the winners, they are not accidental. Today, while women are no longer as restricted as they were in the early 20th century, mothers still face discrimination. This collection introduces the life paths of these women. It is important to emphasize that reviewing their life paths is not to boast, but to inspire and encourage women to continue their efforts. What do these Nobel laureate women leave for their granddaughters? Marie Curie, a French physicist, is one of the most famous Nobel laureate women, and there are 27 other women who have won the Nobel Prize after her (including herself — editorial note). The 14 outstanding and highly accomplished women in this volume paint a vivid and moving group portrait for readers. They are role models for women, providing courage and inspiration to women from the late 19th century to today.
