100 Women: Where are the female Nobel Prize winners?


Summary
This news talks about the scientific winners of The Nobel Prize. It mentions the laureates in all the scientific areas: physics, chemistry, physiology, astronomy and medicine, and all of them have something in common, they are all white men.
Since the beginning of the awards in 1901, only 17 women have been awarded in the three science categories, and there hasn’t been any black science laureate.

Personal opinion
First of all I think that something as big as the Nobel prizes, shouldn’t discriminate. I think that to be fair, the judges or whoever chooses the winners, shouldn’t know the names or have photos of the candidates, because if they have any prejudices, they won’t choose the best research or project.
I believe this is an injustice because there are plenty of women who work hard every day, discovering new things, and they are not rewarded, and the same is happening with other people, of different races.
There are a lot of people who have good ideas, that maybe aren’t winning this award because of who they are or how they look, and this is totally unfair.
Everyone should get the chance to be recognised and rewarded for their efforts.
