A: She is probably the most well-known woman in science. She was
raised by poor parents, who nonetheless instilled in their children
a sense of the value of learning. The death of her sister and
mother made her abandon her religion and become agnostic. In the
end of the 19th century she obtained her master’s degree in
mathematics from a famous university. Her ground-breaking work in
the field of radio-activity gave her Nobel-Prizes in both Physics
and Chemistry. She was, however, unaware of the effects of working
unprotected with radioactive substances, and therefore carried
samples around in her pockets. At the age of 66 she died from
anaemia. Two years later her oldest daughter was awarded the Nobel
Prize in Chemistry.
Number of siblings this woman had = A
B: This German scientist is especially well known for her
monophonic music, off which approximately 80 compositions have
survived. She wrote biological, medical, and theological texts, and
invented an alternative alphabet. As the tenth child, she was
destined for the church, and at the age of 3 she had her first
vision. She is known as the greatest scientific woman of medieval
times.
Year she died = B
C: She was one of the pioneers in the field of DNA. Using
X-rays, she managed to determine the structure of this genetic
polymer in royal surroundings, but was only mentioned in a footnote
in Nature. Despite her excellent work, this British scientist did
not receive the Nobel Prize in 1962, but at that time she probably
didn’t care too much.
Number of papers she published the year before she died = C
D: She was probably the first female mathematician ever. She
taught astronomy and philosophy and was the head of the Platonist
School in Alexandria. Furthermore she invented the hydrometer,
which is used to determine the relative density and gravity of
liquids. She ended her life as a victim of political jealousy. She
was dragged through the streets to a church, where she was set
ablaze.
Number of the month she was killed = D
E: Just before the millennium, she lowered the speed of light
from 300.000 km pr. second to only 17 meters pr. second. Recently
she managed to momentarily stop a beam of light, move it, and then
release it again, and she is now one of the hottest names in
science. For several years, she has been working as a professor at
Harvard University.
Year she obtained her PhD-degree in physics = E
F: This Quaker-girl decided to study medicine in 1889 and should
not be mistaken with her singing namesake. She worked as a health
inspector in Hell’s Kitchen, focused on the high infant mortality
rate. She set up a milk station handing out pasteurized milk and
aided in the prevention of blindness due to gonorrhea. She
contributed enormously to improve the public health in the city.
She was also the first female editor of the scientific journal
Public Health.
Number of books (not including her autobiography) she wrote =
