Achievements: Marie Curie was a pioneering physicist and chemist, best known for her work on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields (Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911).
Achievements: Rosalind Franklin was a chemist and X-ray crystallographer who made crucial contributions to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Her work laid the groundwork for the discovery of the DNA double helix, although she did not receive the Nobel Prize awarded for it.
Achievements: Jane Goodall is a renowned primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist who is best known for her groundbreaking work with wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania.
