Abstract | Chemistry as science is known to be objective and neutral. However, numerous studies indicate that historically recognition of women's contributions to chemistry, including Nobel Prize, is far from objective and often based on cultural forms and gender bias. In this work, we analyzed gender and age of Nobel Laureates in Chemistry at the time of award. We studied one hundred- and twenty-years trends from 1901 to 2020 in two time periods 1900's (first one hundred years) and 2000's (twenty years) and looked for similarities and differences. We focused on women representation, average age of all chemistry laureates and age of men and women separately, at the time they received Nobel Prize. Our results show that the number of women Chemistry Nobel Prize winners is on the rise in the twenty first century. Also, the average age of all Chemistry Nobel Prize winners is increasing from 1900's to 2000's. The trend is more prominent for women than men. Interestingly, we observed that women chemistry laureates are younger than men, on average. Taken together, our findings serve as an inspiration for women who choose to pursue studies in chemistry.
