Science Nobel prizes given to women

The nobel prize is an award given each year since 1901 when Alfred Nobel on his last wishes sayed that he wanted this awards to be given. This awards are multi task prizes given to people who have made great progress on a determinated field, from physics to economics. 


Since 1901 this reward has been given 776 times to men, 41 times to women and 23 times to corporations. The fist women to win it was Marie Curie in 1903, for her studies on physics, with her husband. Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel. She also one another one for chemistry on 1911 making herself the only women to win this prize twice. Moreover, her daughter Irène Joilot-Curie won the chemistry one in 1935, giving both moher and daughter the distinction of being the only "family" that have ever done it.


Rita Levi-Montalcini still is a terrific women, she made to win the award at the year 1986, for her studies on medicine. Making her the oldest lady alive to have it, with more than a hundred years.


The fact that for more than a century over 40 times the novel price has been given to women. This means that 43 women have won the novel price between the years 1901 and 2011 (remember that Marie Curie was honoured twice).
