Most female awardees come by far from the USA: 21 out of 77 total, Followed by France (8), Germany (4), United Kingdom (3), Sweden (3) and Poland (3). The distribution of prizes is not only unbalanced from a geographical but also a gender perspective: 70 women vs. 1055 men in 121 years of the Nobel prizes. Marie Curie was the first women to be awarded a Nobel prize, in Physic, jointly with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for the discovery of Radium. In 1911 she was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Only 21 awards were given to female scientists in the categories Physics, Medicine and Chemistry, the others were awarded for achievements in the field of Literature or the fight for Peace.]]> This map shows each country proportional to the numbers of all female laureates in all Nobel categories won by citizens from there between 1901 and 2025.
