Nobel Prize is the highest honor in the scientific community that is bestowed for the contribution of eminent scientists in various spheres of science. Since its inception in 1901, many renowned scientists have received this award. However, when compared to men, women's share as recipients is abysmally low. Although the contribution of female scientists has tremendously increased in the last few decades, yet the lack of proportionate increase in recognition is conspicuous by its disproportionate number of women recipients. This paper addresses this issue and underlines some of the reasons contributing to an underrepresentation of women scientists among Nobel Laureates.
诺贝尔奖是科学界的最高荣誉，授予在各个科学领域做出杰出贡献的科学家。自1901年设立以来，许多著名科学家都获得了这一奖项。然而，与男性相比，女性获奖者的比例极低。尽管在过去几十年中，女性科学家的贡献大幅增加，但由于女性获奖者数量不成比例，认可程度缺乏相应增长的情况十分明显。本文探讨了这一问题，并强调了导致女性科学家在诺贝尔奖得主中代表性不足的一些原因。
