Do more men than women win Nobel Prizes?

Yes, more men than women have won Nobel Prizes. As of 2023, there have been 968 male Nobel Prize laureates and 60 female Nobel Prize laureates, a ratio of approximately 16:1. This disparity has been attributed to a number of factors, including historical gender discrimination, societal biases, and the underrepresentation of women in certain fields. Efforts have been made to address this gender gap, such as through initiatives to encourage women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to increase the visibility of female role models.
