LIVE POLL: Inspirational Women's History Scientist Biopics
Each March in the USA, we recognize female achievements during Women's History Month. The highlight of the month-long celebration is International Women's Day on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, socioeconomic and other achievements of women. Movie biopics are a great way to honor, educate and celebrate the contributions of great women with the star power they deserve. In honor of the women who blazed the trail for others to follow.
One actionable theme for IWD 2023 is "to embrace equity, not just equality". Help create a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination by learning more @ IWD 2023 — Embrace Equity and tweet in support on the Twitter hashtag #EmbraceEquity.
Which of these pioneering scientific females inspires you the most, or alternatively their biopic or biographical documentary does?

I have revised the scope and question. I am looking for more suggestions of notable scientific women (I will find a documentary, as the poll is about the women, as much as, it is about the movies). The selection is limited for biopics, but is more expansive for biographical documentaries.
Which of these select pioneering scientific females inspires you the most, or alternatively, which biopic or biographical documentary does?
But, I require they check four boxes 1) be female 2) be a scientist by training or by work (no formal education required) 3) be pioneering in a field or have some noteworthy impact and 4) be inspirational to at least some people.
Which of these select pioneering scientific females inspires you the most, or alternatively, which biopic or biographical documentary does?

18. American Experience (1987– )
Episode: Rachel Carson (2017)
19. Calculating Ada: The Countess of Computing (2015 TV Movie)
20. Fire of Love (2022)
