Yet, Lise Meitner was the first woman German scientist. When she started her studies, German universities were almost entirely closed to women; and especially so in the sciences.

Lise Meitner was among the many who listened to the radio broadcast of one of Hitler's speeches shortly before the Nazi party turned Germany into a dictatorship. In a letter to Otto Hahn, she described the speech as moderate, tactful, and personal and wrote that "hopefully things will continue in this vein.

Lise Meitner had just received news of an experiment that seemed to show the splitting of uranium atoms into two large-ish parts, at that time a completely unknown phenomenon. The calculation undertaken by Lise and Otto showed the theoretical possibility of this phenomenon, that we now talk of quite casually as "nuclear fission".

As Otto Hahn's partner in his early neutron bombardment studies, Meitner was at first puzzled over some of the results, but didn't have time to dwell too long. As Hitler came into his full power, the Jewish Meitner was forced to flee both Germany and, to some degree, her work. While she communicated with Hahn from her new base in ...
