Lise Meitner is also about more than just the Nobel Prize. Although her parents – especially her father – supported her all her life, as a Jewish scientist she had to work harder for her position in science than her male colleagues. When Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1945, not only was she not honored, she was also in exile in Stockholm. The extent of the importance of Meitner's research for the discovery of nuclear fission was not known for a long time. "But if you look at the correspondence between Hahn and Meitner, you can see that he actually understood very little about physics," says Hafner. The author Marissa Moss has dealt with this fact and tells the story of Lise Meitner's fight for her place in the history of science in The Woman who split the Atom . The book also takes up her commitment to nuclear peace and her horror at what her discovery was finally used for – again by other men .
