Françoise Barré-Sinoussi .
Women Who Changed the World
Five Nobel women in focus
"We have to show them what women can do in science!" Here Françoise Barré-Sinoussi describes her drive to overcome sexism. In 2008, she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her role in the discovery of human immunodeficiency (AIDS) virus.
"Perhaps the earliest memories I have are of being a stubborn, determined child"
Rosalyn Yalow was the daughter of immigrants without high school education. At a time when women were given little access to scientific studies, she made up her mind to pursue a career in physics, and in 1977 she was awarded the Medicine Prize for developing a methodology for the determination of protein hormones in the blood.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin at the Nobel Prize Award Cremony.
She brought crystallography into a new age
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was arguably the most outstanding X-ray crystallographer of her time.  She succeeded in determining the structure of penicillin and later determined the structure of vitamin B12. She is one of only four women awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
"There are voices around me, hundreds of voices"
Svetlana Alexievich depicts life during and after the Soviet Union through the experience of individuals. In her books she uses interviews to create a collage of a wide range of voices. With her "documentary novels", Svetlana Alexievich, who is a journalist, moves in the boundary between reporting and fiction. Get a taster of her work here.

Bertha von Suttner.
"One of the eternal truths is that happiness is created and developed in peace"
Baroness Bertha von Suttner was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She wrote one of the nineteenth century's most influential books, the anti-war novel Lay Down Your Arms (1889). In the 1870s she became a close friend of Alfred Nobel, the man behind the Nobel Prize. There is little doubt that von Suttner's friendship with Alfred Nobel had an impact on the contents of his will, and many give her the credit for his establishment of a peace prize.
