Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics
  Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e., of
being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one's social,
gender, or racial group. This can lead women scientists to underperform or to
leave their scientific career because of negative stereotypes such as, not
being as talented or as interested in science as men. Sadly, history rarely
provides role models for women scientists; instead, it often renders these
women invisible. In response to this situation, we present a selection of
twelve outstanding women who helped to develop nuclear astrophysics.
