The Woman Who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner by Marissa Moss

4.0

After I was about halfway through this I chuckled every time the author mentioned that chemist Otto Hahn didn't really understand physics and needed Lise Meitner to interpret results for him. It gets mentioned over and over again. Like, we get it!

It's widely accepted now that Hahn took too much credit for the discovery of nuclear fission (among other achievements) and that he allowed Meitner's contributions to go unacknowledged. Boo Hahn! Yay Meitner!
