Men have won most of the Nobel Prizes in science in the past. But this year, we saw more female winners.

Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Charpentier from France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It's the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man. At the same time, US scientist Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. Its first female winner was Marie Curie in 1903.

Doudna and Charpentier won the prize for developing CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors (基因剪刀), a technology that can rewrite DNA in cells (细胞). It has had a great impact(影响)on the life sciences. For example, it can help us develop crops that can withstand droughts(抗旱). It could also help treat inherited diseases (遗传病)in the future.

On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women in history to win the Chemistry Prize, Charpentier said that she hopes girls and young female scientists will "understand that nothing is impossible". They can "find great discoveries (发现)",whether the man or the woman is.

Ghez, who was awarded for her research on black holes, had the same feeling. "l hope more young women come into the field,"Ghez said. She is also one of the writers of the 2006 children's book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.
