It has been a record year for women in the Nobel prizes season, with Claudia Goldin of the United States swelling their ranks on Monday by winning the Economics Prize. Ms. Goldin sealed the bumper year for Nobel women, three days after Iranian rights activist Narges Mohammadi, jailed for campaigning against the oppression of women, won the Peace Prize. Swedish scientist Anne L'Huillier also shared the physics prize and Hungary's Katalin Kariko the medicine prize. If it is a record year it is because the first two did not share the prize with anyone else, meaning that for the first time, almost half {47 percent} of the Nobel prizes went to women, against just over two-fifths (42 percent} in 2009 and 2004, the previous highest proportion.
