So omitting physicians from this list is only for convenience. What counted as success varies from century to century. A successful scientist of the 18th century was someone who discovered a comet, or perhaps computed the orbit of a comet. A comet was world class event. Today comets are found by people around the world - often as many as ten a year.
Home based personal computers can produce very nice comet orbits.
We cannot omit from the list a 19th century woman such as Maria Mitchell who discovered comets just because she would not make the list in the late twentieth century. Similarly, at one time, someone who presented a solution to a particular algebraic equation was highly regarded by the entire community. Today, a solution of this type finds little merit outside a tiny set of mathematicians. So we have to include Maria Agnesi . So when we search out the women of technology and science we must avoid, where possible, using 20th century criteria to define success.
