Fantastic! I absolutely loved this book. I’ve studied a lot of physics, specifically atomic & nuclear physics but I had never (to my recollection) heard of Lise Meitner. Having heard her story, it’s shocking because she was amazing but also not surprising since she was a Jewish woman in a time where women were often not even allowed to attend college much less be acknowledged for world changing discoveries.
