Does anyone know any famous female scientists who were influenced by Marie Curie's work?

Lisa Meitner. She is recently credited for first explaining certain experimental results that turned out to be the first proof of theorized nuclear fission. She received the Fermi award for her role in creating the first atomic bomb.

Lise Meitner (November 17, 1878–October 27, 1968) was an Austrian physicist who studied radioactivity and nuclear physics.\n\nBorn in Vienna, Austria, Lise Meitner was the third of eight children of a Jewish family. She entered the University of Vienna in 1901, studying physics under Ludwig Boltzmann. After she obtained her doctorate degree, she went to Berlin in 1907 to study with Max Planck and work with the chemist Otto Hahn. She collaborated with Hahn for 30 years, each of them leading a section in Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry. Hahn and Meitner collaborated closely studying radioactivity, with her knowledge of physics and his knowledge of chemistry.\n\nIn 1918, they discovered the element protactinium.\n\nIn 1923, she discovered the radiationless transition known as the Auger effect, which is named for Pierre Victor Auger, a French scientist who discovered the effect two years later.\n\nWith the discovery of the neutron in the early 1930s, speculation arose in the scientific community that it might be possible to create elements heavier than uranium (atomic number 92) in the laboratory. A scientific race commenced between Ernest Rutherford in Britain, Irene Joliot-Curie in France, Enrico Fermi in Italy, and the Meitner-Hahn team in Berlin. At the time, all concerned believed that this was abstract research for the probable honor of a Nobel prize. None suspected that this research would culminate in nuclear weapons.

Sorry couldn't resist -\n\nIt was Watson and CRICK and Maurice Wilkins was also awarded the Nobel prize for the structure of DNA. Rosalind Franklin was also heavily involved and would have made the whole situation much more complicated if she hadn't died.\n\nNobel prize winners are a good place to start but are not an exclusive list of those contributing greatly to the study of biology.\n\nPoor answer I know, didn't give any names - sorry....

Visit this page http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Science/Scients.htm ... I believe it has a complete list of all the scientific men and women you might be looking for. I just want to help you out.

The first person I thought of was Gregor Mendel, but everyone already pretty much knew that plants were alive already, he just showed that they have genetics.

I'm not sure about the first millionaire but I think the first female millionaire was Madame C.J. Walker. She created the first line of hair care products for women, particularly of color.

Here are a few:\nAntony Leeuwenhoek - considered the father of microbiology\nRobert Hooke - made the 1st compound microscope and coined the term "cell"\nJames Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin - DNA

You have her name wrong. It is Margaret Mcmillan and if you type that into Mywebsearch or Google there are pages and pages of information about her and her educational theories. Good Luck!

Rosalind Franklin -- the woman x-ray crystalographer whom Watson and Crick ... um ... ripped off to build their model of DNA\n\nRichard Dawkins ... one of the greatest thinkers when it comes to explaining mechanisms related to evolution\n\nRichard Feynman ... one of the greatest physists to ever live\n\nCharles Darwin ... interesting article in the "Skeptic" column in this month's (Feb 06) Scientific American on how Charles Darwin did not become an evolutionist overnight while in the Galapagos.  He was still considered a creationist for some time after the trip until conversations with others gave him the insights to come up with his theories which keep accumulating supporting evidence.\n\nAlfred Wegener -- the first recognized proposer of continental drift, or what we call plate tectonics today.\n\nJane Goodall -- the primatologist who studied chimpanzees for insights into human behavior.

Pocahantas, Eleanor Roosevelt, Emmaline Pankhurst (founded Suffragettes), Nellie Bly 1867-1922 (pioneered investigative journalism ~ a woman who defied all odds of being a woman.  Raced around the world to beat "Around the World in 80 Days" by 2 days...admitted herself into a mental institution to expose horrid conditions there...)

Rutherford and Bohr did much of the early theoretical work on the structure of the atom but the real breakthrough was in 1938 when the Austrian physicist Lise Meitner and the German chemist Otto Hahn bombarded uranium with neutrons and caused it to splinter into barium and krypton. \n\nShe coined the term "fission" for this process. borrowing a term from biology. When the Nobel Prize was awarded for this joint work over 30 years, after WW2, he was awarded it and she was omitted. Being female and Jewish had caused her career to be eclipsed by his.

Polonium was discovered by Maria Skłodowska-Curie and her husband Pierre Curie in 1898 and was later named after Marie's home land of Poland.

well it looks like you have issues with your mother.\n\nMen have been so afraid of superiorrity of women that they denied them even proper education. So no you will not get many female newton.But they are not entirely absent despite that.\n\n\nMadam Mari Curie: discovered radioactive properties of atoms. Got nobel prize for science twice.\n\nhere are some of the other names :  \n\nGargi : contributed in vedas and was a rishani\n\nMatreyee: again a vaidic scholar\n\nAkka mahadevi:  She was a 12th century religious poet, much like Meera. She devoted her life to the worship of Lord Shiva.  \n\nBorn in Udutadi, this young Veerashaiva saint achieved Aikya or Oneness with the Divine within a short twenty years of age. Her outpourings are contained in over 315 vachanas and in a small text for advanced sadhakas called Yoganga Trividhi. She came on the scene when the reformist movement of Veerashaivism had just begun to impact, particularly the lower rungs of the society, with its remarkable empowerment techniques\n\n\nMeera Bai: famous Krishna devotee\n\nNoor Jahan: a poet and is known for inventing many kinds of perfumes.\n\nLalleshwari  (1320 – 1390). The Hindus called her Lalleshwari and the Muslims Lalla Arifa. But both endearingly called her Lal DED (Grandmother or Grandma).Lalleshwari was a sadhvini or female wandering devotee of Lord Shiva who was hailed as a great Siddha or enlightend master of her time. As a poet her poetry is still influential, especially in Kashmir.\n\nJoan of Ark\n \nSarojini Naidu\n\nMahadevi Verma\n\nSister Nivedita\n\nDurgavati: Queen lead the army \n\nLakshmee Bai: queen and again lead the army \n\nRaziya Sultan: Queen , lead the army and proved a good general despite constant opposition by muslim knights of court for being a woman.\n\nQueen Chennama\n\n\n   there are numerous others who made a mark even in men dominant society.\n \nwhy do you hate women so much? did your mother left you "benam"(without name) and dumped you?
