This article alleges that there may be a hidden bias against female scientists receiving Nobel prices. If the author had included a long list of female scientists that deserved a Nobel price, but did not receive one, it would have gone a lot further to making its case.

However it only names one (Vera Rubin [1]). However one possible case seems insufficient evidence to prove a bias here.

Not saying such a list cannot be drafted - just saying it's not presented here, and so it's hard to buy into the bias argument.
