Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with the ir husbands, and othe rs raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.

(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that
