  Hackaday did a whole series on historical scientists, most of them women. I'd start there. Edit: Here's a direct link https://hackaday.com/category/biography/ https://hackaday.com/category/biography/

  Just Google "women that did not get the nobel prize". Marie Curie only got her first Novel Prize because Pierre Curie refused to accept it unless it was shared with his wife.

  Off the top of my head, Rosalind Franklin made major contributions to the discovery of DNA, but Watson, Crick, and Wilkins got the Nobel Prize.

    Yes, but if I remember correctly, it was because she died before they gave the prize and they have the rule not to give it to dead scientists. To date there should have been only one exception were they gave the prize to someone that died only a few days earlier and they didn't knew it, once they knew they didn't felt like taking the prize back so this should be the only exception.

      It wasn't just the Nobel, though. Her contribution was largely ignored until quite recently.
