6 Women Who Changed the World

The Polish chemist who could not attend university, Jewish physicist hated by the Nazis, German mathematicians whom no one wanted, English crystalgrapher who stole his discovery, Hollywood star who was a military engineer, and Serbian theory that was eclipsed by her husband. These are the 6 women of science who gave rise to many others by their will, skill, talent, and stubbornness.

Marie Curie. The most popular scientist of 1900 remains. She studied in Sorbonne for physics and mathematics, and she was the first female to get a card at this university. She introduced concepts like radioactivity, discovered the polonium, whose name she named in her homeland. He never patented his findings, won two Nobel Prizes, one in physics and the other in chemistry. He died of apalysical anemia in 1934. Her older daughter Irene also won a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935, her second daughter Eve was an adviser to the UN secretary. Marie repeatedly repeated a phrase: “Fisica is a beautiful thing. ”

Emmy Noether. It was the most important mathematician in history, hated by Hitler, but quite loving by Einstein. Born in Erlangen, Germany, in 1882, it could be said today that she was affected by Asperger's syndrome: She dressed the same way, did not pay attention to her appearance, was not interested in contact with others. She loved the students, and she is attributed to Noah's theorem. Albert Einstein would write this after her death: “One, at last, is the person for whom he feeds an extraordinary assessment, is a brilliant mathematician... was a beautiful head and is dead. Emmy was the greatest math genius with a superior education given to women.” Those who rebuked her for being an obsession person and quite ordinary, she replied: “A man is judged by thoughts, not by the crumbs she leaves on the table. ”

Rosalind Franklin. Born in London in 1920 is the scientist who made DNA discovery possible. Her name is linked to images of the DNA X-ray defraction. Her records were suspected of being used by Watson and Crick to complete the molecular structure of DNA. Watson years later would admit that he had seen Rosalinda's defraxiogram as a vision that showed the helic structure of DNA. She had told Maurice Wilkins, a colleague from the same school. He did not hold grudges about these events. He died in 1958 of a ovarian tumor four years before Watson's Nobel Prize, Crick and Wilkins. His father put it this way: “Science is the life of all days, they cannot and should not be separated. ”

Lisa Meitner. Born in 1878 in Vienna. Max Planck's assistant is appointed in 1912, then director of the physics department in Berlin in 1918. It was the first woman to receive a seat in Germany. Otto Hahn along with him explained the atomic emptying. It was dedicated to radioactivity. Her studies led to the nuclear fusion that Hahn received in 1945 Nobel. While Hahn won Nobel, Lise won the dark side of the discovery, was known as the mother of the atom bomb. It was the project of the international Atomic Energy Agency in the United Nations that promotes the smooth use of nuclear rather than military use. Its epithephae reads: “Lise Meitner, a physicist who never lost humanity. ”

Hedy Larmar. Born in 1914 in Vienna, he participated in the Ecstasy, staged, the first stage in cinema history. He went to Hollywood, had six men and some boyfriends. However, it is known as the engineer from Vienna and is the inventor of the secret communication system, a radio communication encryption system that is now used for mobile phones. When asked what he liked best, he answered: “to keep my head occupied with physical formulas while talking to men. ”

Mileva Maric. He was born in 1875 in Serbia, but the most important year would come when he met Albert Einstein in 1896 and married and bore three children. She was fully dedicated to her husband, and when her reputation reached the tops, she was taken from her to marry her second cousin, Elsa Einstein Löönthal. Recent studies suspect that Mileva, a brilliant mind on Zurich's Polytechnic, may have influenced Einstein's findings. The hypotosis supported by the fact that Einstein won Nobel in 1921 gave the entire amount of the Mileva prize from which he had been divorced. This amount is thought to be some kind of intellectual compensation for Mileva's work. Einstein- a stone. That's how she would define the couple formed by her and Einstein, Mileva.
