Lise Meitner: The Mother of the Atom Bomb

Lise Meitner: The Mother of the Atom Bomb

8 | 2013-02-02 | Documentary History

To historians, physicist Lise Meitner deserves to be placed on a par with Einstein, Heisenberg and Otto Hahn. In the 1930s on the verge of World War II, she led a small group of scientists who discovered that splitting the atomic nucleus of uranium releases enormous energy. This extraordinary film tells the story of a woman who was far ahead of her time as a scientist and a pioneer of feminism.
