Riddle

What about this one?

Who can answer this question?

Who are these women?

Here are a few female scientists that you might not have heard of (but definitely should have). Marie Curie hasn't bee included, because as much as we all love her, she is the automatic "female scientist" that always springs to mind and we think it's time we branched out!

I'll give you a few days to see if you recognize them and can give some info about at least one of them . . .

And the winner is . . . . . . DANILO!!!  

Yes, Danilo has been the only one who's guessed five of these female scientists. You can read his findings in "comments". 
Below, you'll read more about them:
