This poster highlights a few key women who participated in physics over the last century with some humorous and not so humorous quotes about being a female being a physicist. The tenacity and resolve of women who faced challenges as they pursued their passion for science is obvious in only a few short words. Their words of wisdom will undoubtedly stimulate discussion, reflection and awe.
