520    "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 
       groundbreaking 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. The 
       book includes an afterword, author's note, timeline, 
       select terms of physics, glossary of scientists mentioned,
       endnotes, select bibliography, index, and Marissa Moss' 
       celebrated drawings throughout. The Woman Who Split the 
       Atom is a fascinating look at Meitner's fierce passion, 
       integrity, and her life-long struggle to have her 
       contributions to physics recognized"--|cProvided by

       gripping story of Lise Meitner, the physicist who 
       discovered nuclear fission. As a female Jewish physicist

       to fight for an education, a job, and equal treatment in 
       her field, like having her name listed on her own research
