		While Meitner was celebrated after World War II as "the mother of the atomic bomb," she had no role in it, and her true scientific contribution became, if anything, more obscure in subsequent years.
		A new biography by Ruth Lewin Sime* tells Meitner's often paradoxical story and sets forth the daily sequence of events that constituted the discovery of fission and, subsequently, the "forgetting" of the role of one discoverer.

		Lise Meitner (1878-1968), a pioneering nuclear physicist, codiscovered nuclear fission with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman.
		Lise Meitner was born in Vienna in 1878, and she started her career in the turbulent times of the First World War, at a time when Germany was a clear leader in physics research, in the Golden Era of physics.
		One letter from Lise Meitner to Otto Hahn touched me. In it Lise Meitner was addressing those of her colleagues who had stayed behind in Germany and had worked on nuclear physics for Hitler, at least in one form or the other.

	Lise Meitner
		Lise Meitner was born on November 7, 1878, in Vienna, Austria, one of eight children.
		In 1914, Lise was working with her partner, Otto Hahn, when he was drafted for World War I. Lise chose to write articles for the Brockhaus Encyclopedia when he was gone, but she was forced to stop when the editor found out she was a woman and wouldn't publish her articles.
		When she returned to Berlin, Lise began trying to discover the element on the periodic table that was between thorium and uranium.

	Making the Modern World - Lise Meitner
		Meitner was barred from the laboratories because of her gender, but undaunted Meitner and Hahn set up a carpenter's workshop for their experiments.
		Meitner, with Frisch, who was with her at the time, realised that the bombardment was causing the nucleus to split.
		Meitner continued to work on fission but refused to become involved with the bomb project - she had laid the foundations for both nuclear power and nuclear destruction - always expressing the hope that it would prove fruitless.

	Lise Meitner Biography \| scit_0612345_package.xml
		Lise Meitner is best known for her role in the discovery that heavy unstable nuclei such as uranium-235 could decay by a fission process in which the nucleus could split into two pieces of nearly equal size, releasing additional neutrons and an immense amount of energy.
		Meitner calculated the energy released by the process, which was quite large, and communicated the results to Hahn.
		Meitner had been invited to join the project, but unlike the vast majority of refugee scientists, she refused, strongly objecting to the military use of her work.

	Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics (Ruth Lewin Sime)
		Having fled to Sweden (where she was to live for the next twenty two years), Meitner found herself without the resources to continue her work, but until the outbreak of war she continued to collaborate with Hahn and Strassman.
		Despite this they remained close friends, and Meitner never seems to have protested, perhaps because she did not actually want be linked more closely with nuclear fission (she had refused to work on the Allied bomb effort during the war).
		And, though in some ways Meitner's personal life lacked excitement (there is no indication that she had any non-platonic friendships, for example), there is plenty in Sime's biography to interest the general reader.

	Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, and Fritz Strassmann
		In 1938 Otto Hahn (1879–1968), Lise Meitner (1878–1968), and Fritz Strassmann (1902–1980) were the first to recognize that the uranium atom, when bombarded by neutrons, actually split.
		In 1912 their research group was relocated to the new Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft, where Fritz Haber was head of the physical chemistry institute, Hahn was head of the radioactivity institute, and from 1918 Meitner was head of the radioactivity institute's physics department.
		Meitner, Hahn, and another chemist, Fritz Strassmann, who had worked with the partners since 1929, were deeply involved in identifying the products of neutron bombardment of uranium and their decay patterns.

		Meitner was the one that correctly explained the puzzling results, as a fission of the nucleus and calculated that vast amounts of energy were liberated.
		Meitner's career was shattered when she fled Germany, and her scientific reputation was damaged when Hahn took full credit and the 1944 Nobel Prize for the work they had done together on nuclear fission.
		Ruth Sime's absorbing book is the definitive biography of Lise Meitner, the story of a brilliant woman whose extraordinary life illustrates not only the dramatic scientific progress but also the injustice and destruction that have marked the twentieth century".

	The New York Review of Books: LISE MEITNER'S GENIUS
		Lise Meitner was born in Vienna in 1878 and received her doctorate in physics from Vienna University in 1906.
		In 1935 Meitner persuaded Hahn to join her in a study of an effect recently discovered by Enrico Fermi in Rome: new radio-activities induced in uranium by irradiation with neutrons.
		When Meitner's young physicist nephew Otto Robert Frisch came to visit her in Sweden over Christmas, they realized that barium could have been formed only if absorption of a neutron had induced the uranium nucleus to split in half, and they predicted the large amount of energy that would have been released in the process.

		In association with the German physical chemist Otto Hahn, providing the theoretical basis for fission, she helped discover the element protactinium in 1918, and was a professor of physics at the University of Berlin from 1926 to 1933.
		In her absence, Hahn and Fritz Strassmann continued experiments they had begun earlier with Meitner and demonstrated that barium was produced when a uranium nucleus was struck by neutrons.
		Meitner and Frisch described the process in a landmark letter to the journal Nature with a term borrowed from biology: fission.

	Lise Meitner
		Lise Meitner (November 17 (official from IKG Wien; November 7th is the day L. Meitner herself celebrated), 1878–October 27, 1968) was an Austrian physicist who studied radioactivity and nuclear physics.
		In February 1939, Meitner published the physical explanation for the observations and, with her nephew physicist Otto Robert Frisch, named the process "nuclear fission".
		In 1944, Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, and Meitner was ignored by the Nobel committee, partly because Hahn downplayed her role ever since she left Germany.
