WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY

Lise Meitner (Vienna, 1878-Cambridge, 1968) was an Austrian scientist who contributed to the discoveries of the element protactinium and nuclear fission.1 While working at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Radioactivity, she discovered the isotope radioactive protactinium-231 in 1917. She  was part of the team that discovered nuclear fission, in 1938, together with his nephew Otto Robert Frisch and the physicist Otto Hahn, a friend of his – although for this achievement Hahn was the only one to receive the Prize Nobel—.Albert Einstein praised her as the “German Marie Curie.”

Upon completing her doctoral research in 1905, Meitner became the first woman at the University of Vienna and the second in the world to earn a doctorate in physics.
