Special Women to Have Won the Nobel Prize with Their Remarkable Contributions

Elfriede Jelinek

Although Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek couldn’t pick up her 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature by herself due to a social phobia, her work stands out. The playwright became famous for her striking compositions, such as the “Lust” and “The Piano Teacher” novels. She’s known for her outright criticism of modern consumer society.

The novelist uses her work to register the hidden ills of disturbing topics like sexism. She focuses on social criticism and post-dramatic theatre publications. Her work, predominantly written in German and with extraordinary linguistic enthusiasm and appeal, has earned her several accolades, making her one of the most decorated writers in Germany.
