2022., Pre-adolescent, Abrams Books for Young Readers Call No: BIOGRAPHY NF MOSS Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "As a female Jewish physicist in Berlin during the early 20th century, Lise Meitner had to fight for an education, a job, and equal treatment in her field, like having her name listed on her own research papers. Meitner made . . . strides in the study of radiation, but when Hitler came to power in Germany, she suddenly had to face not only sexism, but also life-threatening anti-Semitism as well. Nevertheless, she persevered and one day made a discovery that rocked the world: the splitting of the atom. While her male lab partner was awarded a Nobel Prize for the achievement, the committee refused to give her any credit. Suddenly, the race to build the atomic bomb was on--although Meitner was horrified to be associated with such a weapon. 'A physicist who never lost her humanity,' Meitner wanted only to figure out how the world works, and advocated for pacifism while others called for war"--Provided by publisher.
