Throughout history, the Nobel Prize It has been reinforced as one of the most prominent at a global level and there are few who have the opportunity to be awarded and to do so they must have made great efforts and studies within their field. A few days before International Women’s Day we want to remember the work of the women recognized with this award in USA throughout history, so we have made a list that we share below.
The first edition of the Nobel Prizes It was in 1901 and since then they have been carried out every year with the purpose of recognizing a select group of outstanding people for their studies, efforts or discoveries. There are only five categories: Literature, Peace, Chemistry, Physics and Physiology or Medicine. Although in the first two years no woman was awarded, for the second (1903) it was the Polish physicist Marie Curie who became the first women recognized and that gave way to more being seen just like her.
Over the years, hundreds of men have been decorated, however, there have been only 65 women in total those who have managed to achieve this feat. only in USA 290 citizens have been awardedof which 272 have been men and only 18 of these were women, who went down in the annals of history thanks to their incredible efforts and who today are remembered for their struggle in fields such as feminism, suffragism, poetry, health and medicine, finance and sciences.
