Women Who Changed Everything
Uncover the story of physicist Lise Meitner, who made the theoretical breakthrough explaining nuclear fission, yet was excluded from the Nobel Prize awarded for this discovery. The episode traces her escape from Nazi Germany, her critical correspondence with Otto Hahn, and her revolutionary calculations that explained the process of nuclear fission. We examine how anti-Semitism, gender bias, and political circumstances led to her exclusion from one of science's highest honors, despite Einstein calling her 'German Marie Curie.'
