Nobel Prize Winners by Sex

Question #1: What is the Distribution of Nobel Prizes by Sex?

Women have won less than 5% of all Nobel Prizes. 

Question #2: Is it Likely That Women's Nobel Prizes Percentage Will Increase More in the Future?

Women are growing their participation in winning the Nobel Prize, however not as much as one might think given women's new roles.

Since 2015, women have won 11.7% of the Nobel Prizes. It is unclear that women's roles will increase. Something to consider is that that nearly all of the female Nobel Prize winners are from European or European-based countries. Women in these countries already enjoy equality.
