The "odd man" out is .... a woman?

Of course, there were pioneers who blazed trails that eventually made possible the recent data that a majority of doctorates in America were earned by women. 

In the sciences, however, there is still quite some lag.  All the more impressive then when we look back at the accomplishments of Marie Curie, who is the "odd woman" in this photo, which is one heck of a collection of brain power!

The caption at the source notes:

The 1927 Solvay conference on particle physics: back row, third from right, Werner Heisenberg, sixth from right, Erwin Schrödinger; middle row, from right, Niels Bohr, Max Born, Louis de Broglie and centre, Paul Dirac. Front row, second from left, Max Planck, next to him, Marie Curie, then Hendrik Lorentz and Albert Einstein. Of the 29 pictured, 18 won Nobel prizes, Curie in both physics and chemistry

I wonder how much more advanced our collective understanding of this universe will be if women hadn't been systematically held back all over the planet.  Now, if only we can get more young girls interested in math and science before they fall victims to social pressures!
