I think the main criterion for selection for this article was perhaps ones that were covered previously by Quanta Magazine. For physics any such list that doesn't include the physicist Lisa Randall is not well-done. A few more that can be included in physics: Amy Mainzer and Alessandra Lanzara.

For math Maryam Mirzakhani (first woman Fields Medal winner in 2014) is included in the photos but not in the list.


Notable absence of Sophie Morel too, that's quite odd.


Yeah not including Mirzakhani is just wtf


Marie Skłodowska-Curie is missing. And with all the shit she have been through (including opposition for her to have a PhD and then Nobel prize, and well a lot of things) she is still a leading woman in physics and chemistry and being a women fighting for women's rights.
