Famous Women in Science

Years ago, my grandmother gave me a book called The 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century.  With my new job comes the task of assigning names for the nine computers in a computer lab.  I’m taking some inspiration from the famous scientists and doctors in the book.  Sadly, despite owning the book for well over ten years, I didn’t recognize all of them.

• Virginia Apgar
• Helen Caldicott
• Marie Curie
• Rosalind Franklin
• Jane Goodall
• Grace Hopper
• Melanie Klein
• Mary Leakey
• Barbara McClintock
• Lise Meitner

Who else should make this list, from the 20th century or otherwise?  I can think of these:

• Ada Lovelace
• Dorothy Hodgkin
