Dear Editr，
Please publish mre articles abut wmen scientists. Wmen scientists have made utstanding cntributins t the wrld. These wmen make excellent rle mdels. Mre yung wmen may chse science as a prfessin if wmen read featured articles n female scientists like Marie Curie and Rachel Carsn. Bth wmen were encuraged t study science，and they bth accmplished great things.
With her father's encuragement, Marie Curie made the wrld a better place thrugh her scientific accmplishments. She studied the emissin (放射) f rays frm uranium (铀), a feature she called “radiactivity (放射性)”. Later, Curie and her husband，als a scientist, prcessed the mineral pitchblende befre separating tw radiactive elements (元素). With this discvery, Marie Curie earned her dctrate, and shrtly thereafter，bth she and her husband were awarded the 1903 Nbel Prize in physics. In 1911 Marie Curie wn the Nbel Prize in chemistry fr her wrk with the newly discvered elements；this wrk laid the fundatin fr Xrays and atmic physics.
When Rachel Carsn was yung, her mther encuraged her t study nature. As an adult, she became knwn as the mther f the mdern envirnmental mvement. After studying marine bilgy and zlgy in cllege, Carsn wrked as a gvernment scientist and wrte several bks n hw all living things relate t each ther. In 1951 her bk The Sea Arund Us made scientific knwledge abut the sea accessible t the general readers and remained n the bestseller list fr eightysix weeks. In 1962 Carsn wrte Silent Spring, a bk that helped lead t imprvements in the use f chemical pesticides(农药)．
Humans have benefited greatly frm the wrk f Marie Curie and Rachel Carsn. What if these wmen had nt been encuraged t becme scientists? I believe that we need t encurage yung wmen t enter the field f science.With that gal in mind，I sincerely hpe yur magazine can publish mre articles abut the cntributins that wmen make t science.
Sincerely，
