I think the main criterion for selection for this article was perhaps ones that were covered previously by Quanta Magazine. For physics any such list that doesn't include the physicist Lisa Randall is not well-done. A few more that can be included in physics: Amy Mainzer and Alessandra Lanzara. For math Maryam Mirzakhani (first woman Fields Medal winner in 2014) is included in the photos but not in the list.
