Lyudmila Pavlichenko, often hailed as the deadliest female sniper of World War II, earned her reputation with 309 confirmed kills during the conflict. Born in Ukraine in 1916, Pavlichenko was a history student before the war, but when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, she enlisted in the Red Army. Despite being encouraged to serve as a nurse, she insisted on becoming a sniper, having trained as a marksman in her youth.

Assigned to the 25th Rifle Division, Pavlichenko quickly distinguished herself in battles such as Odessa and Sevastopol, where her accuracy and ability to target enemy officers and snipers made her a formidable force on the battlefield. Her skill was unmatched, and she soon gained international recognition as one of the most successful snipers in history.

In 1942, Pavlichenko was sent on a publicity tour of the United States and Canada, where she met President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During the tour, she famously challenged American women, pointing to her own wartime contributions. "I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascists," she said. "Don’t you think you’ve been hiding behind my back for too long?"

After the war, Pavlichenko was promoted to Major and shifted her focus back to history, working as a historian. Her legacy as one of the most effective snipers in history, and as a symbol of Soviet resilience, remains a powerful testament to the crucial role women played in World War II.

Women are generally good with certain task compared to men. One is such tasks is aiming at things with their hands. Thats why they excel in soldering electronics components. Not surprised some of the best Snipers are women.
