Everyone knows that Marie Curie is the first woman to ever win a Nobel Prize. Most people know that she won twice. Few people know she is one of only two Nobel winners ever to win in two different sciences... and even fewer know the names of any other women who've been awarded a Nobel Prize in a scientific field.
Thankfully, more brilliant scientists have embraced the example set by Curie and continued her legacy, becoming pioneers for future female scientists in their own right. Here are our Top 8 most inspiring female Nobel Prize winners in all scientific fields.

The eCult Observatory is an on-line platform where cultural heritage stakeholders - museums , technology providers from EU projects or SMEs, researchers, museologists or young museum geeks - can find a place to share knowledge, interact and get information on technology solutions and museum needs. The eCult Observatory was developped within the eCultValue project, a coordination action co-funded by the European Commission, which investigated during 24 months technology solutions stemming from EU projects and national initiatives. Five partners from Italy (ESOCE), Slovenia (KIBLA), the UK (EMF-the Forum of e-Excellence, the European Museum Forum), and Greece (ATHENA RIC) brought together cultural heritage representatives, technology developers and researchers to engage in a dialogue and to showcase technologies susceptible to enhance the access to and experience of cultural heritage collections.

Every day, news outlets publish stories on the challenges facing WomenInTech. Women are extremely under-represented in the industry. Of the string of presentations made that day, only a few were made by female entrepreneurs. The founder doesn't recall a single woman on the panel of investors judging the startups and the audience was mostly male too. The problems are linked, says Caroline Simard, research director at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University in Silicon Valley. When women are drastically under-represented it creates the conditions under which such behaviour can thrive.

A new law in Germany highlighted a slow progress of American companies in placing women on corporate boards. Nineteen percent of directors of companies in the S.&P. 500 are women, according to Catalyst, a research firm on women in business. The United States lags many countries with advanced economies in this category, including those without government quotas.

The tech industry has a reputation for being both a wonderland of employee benefits and a place that is unfriendly to families, particularly mothers. Along with the weekly massages, travel stipends, unlimited organic snacks, and casino-themed happy hours are stories of women who are stigmatized and punished for having children, overworked employees who feel they will never be able to balance family and a career, and entrepreneurs who are told by their advisors not to hire women of childbearing age. The dichotomy is stark and puzzling.

The NCWIT Pioneer Award recognizes technical women whose lifetime contributions have significantly impacted the landscape of technological innovation, amplifying the importance of capitalizing on the diverse perspectives that girls and women can bring to the table.
