Women Laureates of Biochemistry
Of the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Medicine or Physiology, women make up about 5% of the recipients. These are some of their stories from needing your husband to stand up for you (Marie Curie) to hiding during the Holocaust (Rita Levi-Montalcini) to winning it with another woman (Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Greider), all of these women should be an inspiration to everyone, whether or not we're in STEM DISCLAIMER: I have not read all of these books

Here is a 📎link to a google sheet with what book goes to which Nobel prize recipient(s). If you have a suggestion for another book about someone, please let me know! I am not a physics person at all, which is why they are not on this list....yet. One day, when I have time they will be added and they will get their own books so all women of STEM can be celebrated
