Women are known for their sacrifice, fighting spirit, and as creators of humanity! Women Nobel Laureates are vocal about gender discrimination, opportunities, rights, etc. The paper speaks about the negative criticism and ability of women to handle distress, conquer the challenges, and come out as champions. Women Nobel Laureates for Peace from Asia, Africa, and America are considered for this study. Mother Teresa and Malala Yousafzai from Indian subcontinent, where one devoted her life for the betterment of orphan children, poor and needy people, the later declared education for girls as her mission of life. Wangari Mathai from Kenya fought to protect the environment through the Green Belt Movement and Nadine Gordimer from South Africa raised her voice for social justice against racial discrimination. From America, Toni Morrison wrote critically for justice of African Americans, and Jody Williams fought to ban antipersonnel landmines and against exploitation of women workers. This paper analyses traits of dynamism, identify a pattern, and study the correlation among Women Nobel Laureates for Peace based on their personality, struggles, and achievements for a greater cause. Adding a new perspective to the existing knowledge, the paper provides scope for further studies on Women Nobel Laureates.
