The history of women in culture and civic life has had a long history of distinction but also of marginalization. Centuries later, much has changed, but the gender gap, especially in the study of scientific disciplines, is still significant: just think that from 1901 to today, among the Nobel laureates, there were 864 men and only 59 women. Of these, 23 Nobel Prizes for scientific disciplines are intended for female figures: 4 for physics, 7 for chemistry and 12 for medicine.
