Nobel Peace Prize Honors Women Who Changed the World

History is written – but institutions speak. From breaking barriers in science to standing firm for peace, women Nobel laureates have not just made history; they’ve rewritten it. With fearless strides and unshaken resolve, these trailblazers – honored in the Nobel Foundation’s tribute ‘Women Who Changed the World’—have left legacies that refuse to fade.

Among them is Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to receive it in two different fields—Physics (1903) and Chemistry (1911). Her pioneering research on radioactivity paved the way for modern science.

In literature, Toni Morrison (1993) captivated the world with her profound narratives on race and identity, while Malala Yousafzai (2014), the youngest laureate, became a global symbol of girls’ education after surviving a Taliban attack.

The Nobel Peace Prize has celebrated women like Mother Teresa (1979) for her compassion toward the destitute and Wangari Maathai (2004), who linked environmental conservation with human rights. Meanwhile, Maria Ressa (2021) continues to fight for press freedom in the face of oppression.

From laboratories to war zones, these laureates prove that courage and intellect know no gender. As the Nobel Foundation’s tribute underscores, their achievements remind the world: when women lead, humanity progresses.
