Jocelyn Bell, I think.  But I don't think she actually got the prize.
She was a graduate student at the time.  There  is a book called _Nobel
Prize Women in Science_  by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne (written before C N-V
won), that includes Bell, and Rosalind Franklin, as well--as women who
did Nobel-worthy work, even if they didn't get the prize.
