Last week，Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou.It's the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize，but why has it taken so long？We look at five other pioneering female physicists past and present—who actually deserve the prize.
    Jocelyn Bell Burnell
    Perhaps the most famous snub（冷落）：Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967，when she was a PhD student at Cambridge.The Nobel prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974，however，went to her male supervisor（指導者），Antony Hewish.Recently awarded a ￡2.3 m Breakthrough Prize，which she gave away to help women and refuge e students，she joked to The Guardian： "I feel I've done very well out of not getting a Nobel prize."
    Lene Hau
    Hau is best known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light，before managing to stop it completely in 2001.Hau often tops Nobel prize prediction lists，and could 2019 be Hau's year？
    Vera Rubin
    Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s，opening up a new field of astronomy.She died in 2016，without recognition from the committee.
    Chien-Shiung Wu
    Wu's "Wu experiment" helped disprove the "law of conservation of party".Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured，and instead，her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel prize for their theoretical work behind the study.
    Lise Meitner
    Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission.However，the discovery was admitted by the1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry，which was won by her male colleague，Otto Hahn.
