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.

Data sources
This map uses data by The Nobel Institute  (last accessed January 2026). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.

Further notes on the data, as well as all modifications to the original data source are noted in our data sheets.
