Yet, Lise Meitner was the first woman German scientist. When she started her studies, German universities were almost entirely closed to women; and especially so in the sciences.

Institute for Chemistry in Dahlem about collaborating on nuclear experiments. Although they had taught together on courses, Meitner doubted that Szilard's background in probability theory and statistics would make him the ideal partner in her ongoing attempts to probe the structure of the atomic nucleus. It's tempting to speculate about what might have happened if they had indeed begun working together in 193 2 ... Show more Show lessbooks.google.com.tr/books?id=cM3ckFXlvpwC&pg=PA205

Lise Meitner had just received news of an experiment that seemed to show the splitting of uranium atoms into two large-ish parts, at that time a completely unknown phenomenon. The calculation undertaken by Lise and Otto showed the theoretical possibility of this phenomenon, that we now talk of quite casually as "nuclear fission".

As Otto Hahn's partner in his early neutron bombardment studies, Meitner was at first puzzled over some of the results, but didn't have time to dwell too long. As Hitler came into his full power, the Jewish Meitner was forced to flee both Germany and, to some degree, her work. While she communicated with Hahn from her new base in ...

Meitner's exclusion from sharing the Nobel Prize was thus integrally related to her escape from Nazi Germany to Sweden and the consequent social 'marginalization' of her important physics research and discoveries.
