Lise Meitner

In the annals of scientific history, few names shine as brightly yet remain as overlooked as Lise Meitner. A brilliant physicist who defied the odds, Meitner's journey from turn-of-the-century Vienna to the halls of cutting-edge nuclear research is nothing short of extraordinary. Her groundbreaking work on nuclear fission changed the course of history, yet her contributions were largely overshadowed by her male colleagues. Today, we delve into the remarkable life of this pioneering woman who overcame gender barriers, religious persecution, and the chaos of world wars to leave an indelible mark on science. Join us as we explore the triumphs, challenges, and lasting legacy of Lise Meitner, the "mother of nuclear fission."
