Marie Curie, 1867-1934
Known as the 'Mother of Modern Physics', Marie not only discovered radioactivity, but she also succeeded in developing her discoveries to form the basis of cancer treatments that are still used today.
From this radioactivity, he used his innovative understanding to help x-rays to take more powerful and accurate images inside the human body.
His development began when he contributed to providing X-ray equipment for ambulances in World War I and founded a foundation to help terminally ill patients around the world.
Rosa Parks, 1913-2005
Rosa Louise Parks is recognized as the 'Mother of the Modern Civil Rights Movement' in the United States (US). His story begins with his refusal to give up his seat to a white male passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama bus on December 1, 1955. Well, from that incident the wave of protests on December 5, 1955 reverberated across the United States.

Ada Lovelace, 1815-1852
The daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron, Augusta Ada Byron or better known as Ada Lovelace showed her talent in mathematics from an early age. He translated an article about the discoveries of Charles Babbage. Due to his skill in introducing many computer concepts, Lovelace is considered to be the first computer programmer.
His notes were introduced to the world by B.V. Bowden was Faster Than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines in 1953. Since then, Ada has received many awards. Then, in 1980, the US Department of Defense named a newly developed computer language named 'Ada'.
Rosalind Franklin, 1920-1958
Rosalind Franklin holds the highest academic degree in Physical Chemistry from the University of Cambridge. He studied crystallography and X-ray diffraction, techniques applied to DNA fibers. One of his photographs provided important insight into the structure of DNA and led other scientists to use it as evidence to support DNA models.
In 1951 Franklin joined the Biophysical Laboratory at King's College, London, as a researcher. There he applied the X-ray diffraction method to the study of DNA. Then, from 1953 to 1958 Franklin worked in the Crystallography Laboratory at Birkbeck College.
He also collaborated on ribonucleic acid (RNA) research. Unfortunately, Franklin's involvement in cutting-edge DNA research was halted by his untimely death from cancer in 1958.
