Summary
None
The Nobel Prizes are five separate prizes that, according to Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to Mankind." Additionally, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (often referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics) was established by Sveriges Riksbank in 1968 and is awarded to a "person or persons in the field of economic sciences who have produced work of outstanding importance."
As of 2025, according to the Nobel Foundation, 68 Nobel Prizes and the Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences have been awarded to 67 women (Marie Curie has been honoured twice, first in Physics in 1903, then in Chemistry in 1911). Unique Nobel Prize laureates include 894 men, 64 women, and 27 organizations.
The approximate distribution of Nobel prizes awarded to women is as follows (regularly updated list from the Nobel Foundation can be found on their website at "Nobel-Prize awarded women" ):
- twenty women have won the Nobel Peace Prize (16.3% of 110 awarded);
- eighteen have won the Nobel Prize in Literature (15% of 120 awarded);
- fourteen have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (5.6% of 230 awarded);
- eight have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (4.1% of 191 awarded);
- five have won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1.8% of 224 awarded);
- and three (Elinor Ostrom, Esther Duflo and Claudia Goldin) have won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2.17% of 92 awarded).
The first woman to win a Nobel Prize was Marie Skłodowska-Curie, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel. Curie is also the first person and the only woman to have won multiple Nobel Prizes; in 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Curie's daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935, making the two the only mother–daughter pair to have won Nobel Prizes and of Pierre and Irène Curie the only father-daughter pair to have won Nobel Prizes by the same occasion, whilst there are 6 father-son pairs who have won Nobel Prizes by comparison.
The most recent women to be awarded a Nobel Prize were Maria Corina Machado for Peace, Mary Brunkow for Physiology or Medicine (2025), Han Kang in Literature (2024), Claudia Goldin in Economics, Narges Mohammadi for Peace, Anne L'Huillier in Physics and Katalin Karikó in Physiology or Medicine (2023), Annie Ernaux in Literature and Carolyn R. Bertozzi for Chemistry (2022), Maria Ressa for Peace (2021), Louise Glück in Literature, Andrea M. Ghez in Physics, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna in Chemistry (2020). The most Nobel Prizes awarded to women in a single year was in 2009, when five women became laureates in four categories.
