Ada Lovelace, the daughter of famed poet Lord Byron, is widely regarded as the world's first computer programmer. In collaboration with Charles Babbage, she developed the Analytical Engine, an early mechanical computer. Lovelace's detailed notes on the engine, including algorithms for performing complex calculations, laid the foundation for modern programming.
Marie Curie: The Trailblazing Physicist and Chemist

Marie Curie is an iconic figure in the world of science. She made groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity, including the isolation of radium and polonium. Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize (in Physics, shared with her husband Pierre) and the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry).
Rosalind Franklin: The Unsung Hero of DNA Discovery
![Rosalind Franklin, Whose X Ray Diffraction Images Were Crucial For Understanding The Structure Of DNA Women In STEM : Amazing Women Who Changed Science And The World Pioneers In Science Technology Engineering And Math (STEM)](https://story.bccbooking.com/medium-image/rosalind-franklin-whose-x-ray-diffraction-images-were-crucial-for-understanding-the-structure-of-dna.jpeg)
Rosalind Franklin was an accomplished chemist and X-ray crystallographer. Her X-ray diffraction images of DNA played a critical role in deciphering the double helix structure. Despite her significant contributions, Franklin's work was often overshadowed by her male colleagues, James Watson and Francis Crick. Nonetheless, her legacy as a pioneering scientist continues to be recognized.
Jane Goodall: The Primate Researcher and Conservationist
