dwivianSometimes I hate the way I learned history....
Lise Meitner, the first person to understand nuclear fission, and an amazing physicist. Completely unknown to me before now because tradition dictated that the study of science was not for women, and so I had heard of Otto Hahn's discovery without mention of her at all.
History is not written only by the winners, but they sure do a good job of making sure their side gets repeated. ::grump::
Go, read. This scientist was every bit as brilliant as Einstein, and her story lives in obscurity. Go. Remedy that.
