Several women have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, making it difficult to answer definitively without more context. Here are some of the notable women who have been awarded this prestigious prize:
- Marie Curie (1903) - She shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for their research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
- Maria Goeppert Mayer (1963) - She shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with J. Hans D. Jensen and Eugene Paul Wigner for her work on the nuclear shell model.
- Donna Strickland (2018) - She shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou for their groundbreaking work in the field of laser physics.
It's important to note that this list is not exhaustive, as many other women have made significant contributions to physics and are recognized for their achievements.
