Science,
mathematics and technology have long been considered the forte of men; However,
the contribution of women to the advancement of these fields just can't be
ignored. There were several scientists famous and well known women who made
important discoveries and inventions in the different branches of science.
Many of these

An eminent
ecologist, Carson studied the effects of DDT on water systems, but also the

physicist and the structure of the layer of atoms, the configuration of the
atom and the placement of electrons in the shell. Tiny to explain the structure
of an atom Atomic models that are visible in the classroom around the world are
based on his model.
5. Jane Goodall

woman scientist, Goodall was born in England and is a well-known
ecologist and primatologist. She studied the chimpanzees of Gombe African three
