Emmy Noether and Lise Meitner were two mathematicians that people who know about these things say deserved a Nobel prize; Meitner was "robbed" when her collaborator Otto Hahn got it but she didn't.
There are web sites that focus on the accomplishments of women scientists. A quick google should get you some hits.

I forgot, there is no Nobel for math so Noether could not have gotten one. Meitner did physics work so she could have.

There are no Nobel prizes in Mathematics. It's a defensible position that Meitner (a physicist) was denied the Nobel because of politics, but not necessarily gender politics.
