Chien-Shiung Wu

Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu was a Chinese American nuclear physicist, often called the 'First Lady of Physics' for her groundbreaking impact on the field. Dr. Wu was the only Chinese person to work on the Manhattan Project. Dr. Wu was also notoriously overlooked for the Nobel Prize for Physics for her revolutionary experiment disproving the Law of Conservation of Parity, an experiment for which her male colleagues received the Nobel Prize.
