Rosalyn Sussman Yalow graduated from Hunter College as the first woman to major in physics (Bauman et. al. 2011). It also paved a path for acceptance and understanding of the role of women in science in America (Bauman et. al. 2011). It even inspired Mildred Dresselhous, who was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and president and officer of many associations including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to pursue the career she wanted (Bauman et. al. 2011) . Rosalyn born to Clara and Simon Sussman in New York City, July 19, 1921 (Brody 1996). She married Aaron Yalow on June 6, 1943 and had two children named Elanna and Benjamin (Brody 1996). In 1977, Dr. Yalow won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and was the second woman to accept the award (Brody 1996). He also taught physics in New York until 1950, when the Veterans Administration (during World War II) was interested in radioactivity exploration and research (Brody 1996). As her life progressed, Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow became an inspiration to young women who want to be recognized and achieve something in their lives (Brody 1996). Ever since she was a child she has been fascinated by science and decided to do something that no woman can really do. Rosalyn Yalow went to school and started working in the scientific field, she managed to help the world of radioactivity and radioimmunoassays, how Mrs. Rosalyn influenced the world of science, how Dr. Yalow influenced the lives of other women and how he never lost his passion for science even in his later years. Yalow's parents never went to high school, but that never stopped her from attending school (Germain et. al. 2012). His high school chemistry teacher influenced his decision to go to college… half of paper… or for example, the hepatitis C virus), biological molecules (such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate), and the human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus (Bauman et. al. 2011). Rosalyn had gone further into the world of science than anyone, including her own thinking, could (Bauman et. al. 2011). Rosayln and Berson changed history, altered the way science was perceived, their time, and the way we see and research science today. Works Cited Bauman, W. A., & Langhoff, E. (2011).
