Rosalind Franklin was a researcher at Kings College London.  Her work in x-ray photography of DNA helped advance understanding of its structure.\n\nSome of Franklin's work was shown (reportedly accidentally and innocently) to James Watson and Francis Crick.  This work may have led in some part to their Nobel Prize winning work as being the first to describe the double-helix structure of DNA. \n\nThere has been some speculation that Franklin's true contribution to DNA research in general and Watson's & Crick's success in particular was intentionally downplayed because she was a woman.

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....

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.

Well,- you've obviously not done much research have you? I suppose you checked out the  space program at cape Canaveral and found out ALL the scientists were women. How many mathmatical equasions did Mrs Einstien solve? I suppose every medical discovery in the world came from females? Off course all the automobiles were designed and invented by females, Mrs Ford in particular. Are all the worlds best Chefs women too? Are all lawyers women? Are all presidents and leaders female? All the people who build houses and design buildings an schools are women too - right?????? \nTHINK AGAIN....or try to START

why are sctions like these so neglected...\nDID YOU KNOW... that an African American man named Lewis Latimer who worked with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell drew up the plans for Bell's first telephone?\nIf you did, you are probably among the fortunate few who possess such knowledge. It is a fact that has not been well publicized. There are countless inventions by African Americans and they cover everything from food processing to electrical technology. The inventions by African Americans point out the contributions that African Americans have made to the comfort and advancement of mankind. The following are some inventions by African Americans.\nAmerica's Hi-Tech "Invisible Man"\n\nPatricia E. Bath was the inventor of the laser eye surgery technique now widely used. In fact, she is the only African American woman doctor to ever receive a medical patent.\n\nFrederick Jones invented the air conditioner unit and the automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks.\n\nJ.W. Smith invented the lawn sprinkler.\n\nSarah Boone invented the ironing board.\n\nJan Matzeliger invented the shoe-lasting machine (for attaching \nsoles on shoes in Lynn, Mass. His invention revolutionized the shoe industry.\n\nLydia Newman invented the hair brush.\n\nL.P. Ray invented the dust mop.\n\nThomas W. Stewart invented the mop.\n\nJohn Love invented the pencil sharpener.\n\nLee Burridge invented the typewriter.\n\nJohn Burr invented the lawnmower.\n\nGarrett Morgan invented the traffic light.\n\nJohn Standard took out a patent on an improved refrigerating device... the refrigerator.\n\nAlice Parker invented the heating furnace.\n\nAlexander Miles invented major improvements to the elevator.\n\nDr. Charles Drew invented a way to store blood and then created the first blood bank.\n\nM.A. Cherry invented the tricycle.\n\nMajor Robert H. Lawrence was the first African American astronaut chosen \nto make a journey to the moon. He had a doctoral degree in Chemistry \nand would have made one of the first lunar trips, but he died in the crash \nof an Air Force F-104 jet at Edwards Air Force Base, CA in 1968.\nErnest E. Just was the first biologist to receive the Springarn Medal. He received distinction in his field through his research on egg fertilization and the functioning of cells.\n\nHarold D. West was the first person to synthesize the amino acid threonine in the laboratory.\n\nDr. William Hinton devised a test to determine syphilis.\n\nAndrew Bryan was the first African American pastor, ordained in 1788.\n\nConstance B.

Elbert Frank Cox (December 5, 1895–November 28, 1969) was an American mathematician who became the first black person in the world to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics. He spent most of his life as a professor at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he was known as an excellent teacher. During his life, he overcame various difficulties which arose because of his race. In his honor, the National Association of Mathematicians established the Cox-Talbert-Address, which is annually handed out at the NAM's national meetings. The Elbert F. Cox Scholarship Fund, which is used to help black students pursue studies, is named in his honor as wel

I'd probably say white female president.  If you look in history white women got more rights before blacks did.

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.

4,000 years of women in science! Did you know that? Women are, and always have been, scientists. This site lists over 125 names from our scientific and technical past. They are all women! This site grew out of the public talks given by Dr. Sethanne Howard, retired from the US Naval Observatory, and was developed by Dr. Deborah Crocker at the University of Alabama. They are both astronomers. As we learn more, we add it to this page. We hope you will share what you know with us. This includes inventors, scholars and writers as well as mathematicians and astronomers. We hope you enjoy learning about some of these women.
