Chien-Shiung Wu is the "First Lady of Physics" here.
> Chien-Shiung Wu, a Chinese-born American physicist, will be commemorated with a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) stamp for her significant contributions in nuclear physics during her 40-year career. More specifically, Wu’s experiment on parity violation that had a monumental impact on particle theory and floored physicists at the time, reports Adrian Cho for Science.
Completely unrelated: "The first lady of the internet" has a more colorful story behind it. I'd recommend looking it up. Depending on what sources you find, this story might not be entirely SFW. :)
