• Women Nobel Prize Laureates. In 1903, only two years after the Nobel Foundation was established, a Nobel Prize was awarded to a woman, Marie Curie, for the first time. Women have been winning Nobel Prizes ever since. In fact, one woman, Bertha von Suttner was influential in convincing Alfred Nobel to set aside a Prize for peace. Women have won Prizes in all categories with the exception of Economics (which was established in 1968 and first awarded in 1969).
• Women's History Collaborative Encyclopedia ProjectThis project began as a classroom assignment to write research papers on figures in Women's History in March of 1995. While compiling that research, we noted that there were no WWW sites established on Women's History. We decided to distribute the assignment over the Internet and invite all K12 students to submit entries to a collaborative Web encyclopedia, or "K12opedia", that we would then maintain for all to use. The encyclopedia currently contains entries from students in grades 3 through 12, and for some students, English is a second language. Entries have NOT been edited for grammar or content. If you have questions or comments on a particular entry, you are invited to contact the author.
