Science Diversity Meme - Women Scientists

March is celebrated as Women's History Month and to celebrate, I'm hosting my first meme on diversity in the sciences.
Can you name 5 Women Scientists from each scientific discipline?

Rules:
1. You can't choose people from your own institution or company.
2. You can't google or use the internet to aid in your search. (But if you know someone is a scientist, but not sure what disciple, you can look that up).
3. You can consult textbooks, journals, and class notes.
4. You can ask others to help you brainstorm, but they can't use the internet just to get 5 names fast (see #2).
5. Living and deceased scientists are acceptable.
6. Links to or references about the named scientists are greatly appreciated. Let's share the knowledge.
List as many as you can, even if it isn't five. And multi-cultural lists are a plus.

Major Discipline Fields:
Astronomy
Biology
Biomedical & Medicine
Chemistry
Genetics
Geography
Geology
Physics
Psychology
Space & Planetary Sciences

I encourage you to post this meme at your page and track back. Thanks

Thanks to Renaisauce for inspiring this phenomenal idea.
