hmm … it says the four are Meitner, Wu, Goeppert-Mayer, and Brooks …

I'd only ever heard of Meitner.

(I'd have included Noether, and Bell Burnell)

(wikipedia has a list of 47 women physicists)

I think if they ONLY can find four women who've made a notable difference in physics, it is obviously not enough.

The article proves that the gender gap in physics is still very large.

It's a bit sad when the Wikipedia article on women physicists has only 47 entries.
