She is the woman. Her discovery made an important impact on society.

Answer explanation

Remember!

Whenever you are referring to the owner or possessor of something, the correct relative pronoun to use is whose. It will be always followed by a noun in the resulting sentence.

This is a defining relative clause. Notice there are no commas.

Our television set is always making funny noises. It cost us a lot of money.
