NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Postal Service (USPS ) will release three stamps next year to celebrate Asian American history and culture, including one to feature the Chinese American nuclear physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, a woman who excelled in a male-dominated field.
Wu, who was born in China in 1912, was one of the top physicists of the 20th century, at a time when the field was dominated by men. She moved to the United States, received her doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley, and spent much of her career teaching at Columbia University.
