Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science ,one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married，some worked with their husbands，and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils (化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old，Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Noble Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry.

What are scientists They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China . Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wan Ruixue. At the age of 28 in2018. Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能).“Both are cutting-edge(前沿)technologies at an early stage of development,"she said.
“So,I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China andother leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader.”
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist.“I grew interested in the natural world, when I was very young,” she said. In 2009,she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at the university,she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high- definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad,Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
“The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding the country has great science facilities.
