Great article in the March Discover magazine. The 10 women mentioned in the article are:
1. Ada Lovelace, Mathematician
2. Marie Curie, Physicist and Chemist
3. Janaki Ammal, Botanist
4. Chien-Shiung Wu, Physicist
5. Katherine Johnson, Mathematician
6. Rosalind Franklin, Chemist
7. Vera Rubin, Astronomer
8. Gladys West, Mathematician
9. Flossie Wong-Staal, Virologist and Molecular Biologist
10. Jennifer Doudna, Biochemist
What is the basis for the ranking?
Maryam Mirzakhani, Mathematician
Emmi Noether, Physicist
come to mind, to name just a few
You raise a good point. I do not think it is meant to be a ranking.
From what I can gather from the article, the list should be taken in the spirit of these are 10 of the (many) women scientists whose work has changed the world.
I look forward to seeing other lists of women scientists whose work changed the world.
