Sally Ride

We have a WINNER!

The answer was Sally Ride, astronaut and physicist, the third woman in space.

Doom, over to you.

@Neon: Just out of interest, have you played Mafia / Werewolf before? Do you need any info about how the game works?

Was her work related to space?

Yes!

So you're looking for an American woman who was alive in the 20th Century but has now died, who was known for her involvement in science (and related pursuits).

Two questions:

Scientist?
Lived in the 20th century?

Yes to both.

Not everyone would immediately identify her as a "scientist" but she very much was one.
