RE: Lise Meitner - Female Scientists Who Aren't Marie Curie

in #steemstem7 years ago

Being a former physicist, I have a somewhat biased list of female scientists in my head.
I would like to draw your attention to Laura Fermi. Yes, the wife of Enrico Fermi. She was not a physicist, yet I find her instrumental for his development.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into her some more... the more research I do into this topic the more I'm astounded all the ways that female scientists managed to contribute to their fields, even in times when they were actively discouraged from doing so! Very inspirational!
