See also Rosalind Franklin who first discovered DNA's double helix structure (three men later received the Nobel Prize for this finding).

And more examples here.

Franklin might have won the prize, had she not died 4 years before the prize was awarded. Rules forbid the Nobel being awarded to the deceased.

True. But it's still three men named in the list of Nobel Prize winners, when a woman first made the actual discoveries. So even if there was no foulplay, it's important to shine a light on women like Franklin.
