Our lives are better because of them. Join MsMojo as we count down our picks for the Top 10 women scientists.
For this list, we're looking at women who've made significant strides in scientific advancement. From geneticists to physicists to environmentalists, all types of scientific study are represented by the females whose research has benefited humanity here —which means they must be scientists by trade. Those talented women who were mathematicians, philosophers, or engineers are not included.
