Lise Meitner: a life in physics
No full textLise Meitner (1878-1968) was a pioneer of nuclear physics and co-discoverer, with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, of nuclear fission. Braving the sexism of the scientific world, she joined the prestigious Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry and became a prominent member of the international physics community. Of Jewish origin, Meitner fled Nazi Germany for Stockholm in 1938 and later moved to Cambridge, England. Her career was shattered when she fled Germany, and her scientific reputation was damaged when Hahn took full credit - and the 1944 Nobel Prize - for the work they had done together on nuclear fission. Ruth Sime's absorbing book is the definitive biography of Lise Meitner, the story of a brilliant woman whose extraordinary life illustrates not only the dramatic scientific progress but also the injustice and destruction that have marked the twentieth century

Exposició Virtual Març 2018.Amb aquesta exposició el CRAI BIblioteca de Física i Química vol commemorar el 50è aiversari de la mort de Lise Meitner i Otto Hahn i el 80è aniversari del seu descobriment: la fissió nuclear. Hahn va rebre el Premi Nobel de química l'any 1944 per aquest descobriment, però no va ser un Nobel compartit..

She was born, raised, and educated in Vienna, where she was the second woman to receive a doctorate from the University of Vienna. She moved to Berlin after obtaining the degree and became acquainted with Max Planck and Otto Hahn, with whom she had a long-standing professional partnership. In 1933 when Nazis gained control of the government, she was director of Chemistry at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute in Berlin, but she was soon forced to flee. Eventually she reached safety in Sweden via the Netherlands. She and Hahn met secretly in Denmark and continued their work during the 1930s.An inventory is available in the folderProcessed for digitization bydigitize
Lise Meitner
No full textLise Meitner, nacque nella Vienna imperiale nel 1878 da una famiglia ebraico-galiziana. Fu una delle prime donne a conseguire il diploma e ad entrare all’Università, dopo che venne abolita la legge che privava le donne dell’istruzione. Provava molta stima per Marie Curie, in quanto possedeva una grande intelligenza e conoscenza. La Meitner aveva un obbiettivo, sfidare il mondo maschile. Non ebbe un’esistenza facile e visse in una società non pronta ad accettare l’indipendenza femminile.Lise Meitner was born in 1878 in Vienna, in a Jewish-Galician family. She was one of the first women who got the degree and who attended the University, after that the law, which deprived women of education, was lifted. She appreciated Marie Curie because of her intelligence and knowledge. Lise Meitner had a goal, challenging the male world. She did not have an easy life and she lived in a society which was not ready to accept female empowerment

Abstract
Lise Meitner was born in imperial Vienna in 1878 into a Galician-Jewish family. She was one of the first women to graduate and enter university, after the law that deprived women of education was abolished. He had great esteem for Marie Curie, as she possessed great intelligence and knowledge. Meitner had one goal, to challenge the male world. He did not have an easy life and lived in a society not ready to accept female independence
Mannaberg-Meitner Family Collection. 1828-1917
No full textThe Mannaberg-Meitner Family collection documents the nineteenth century history of the Mannaberg and Meitner families, who were linked by the marriage of Joseph Mannaberg to Rosalia Meitner. Financial records document the real estate and business dealings of the Mannaberg family, and personal papers document the history of Meitner family and the courtship, engagement, and wedding of Joseph Mannaberg and Rosalia Meitner, as well as those of Rosalia's siblings. The correspondence series extends the collection into the twentieth century with letters from several descendents of Joseph Mannaberg and Rosalia Meitner. The largest series consists of a collection of prayer books, and in particular the Machzor books dating to Joseph Mannaberg's youth contain many annotations and marginalia written by several generations of Mannabergs, up to about the 1920s.The Mannaberg family appear to have been landlords who lived and worked in Moravia, with especially strong links to Wschechowitz (today Všecovice, Czech Republic). Joseph Mannaberg's school notebooks and writings indicate an interest in chemistry.The father of Rosalie Meitner, Menachem (Mandel) Meitner, was an ordained rabbi and ritual slaughterer, like his father Itzig (or Yitzchak) Meitner. Mandel Meitner was married in 1835 to Sarel Ber. Their daughter Rosalia (Reizel) Meitner married Joseph Mannaberg, son of Simon (Sh'imon) Mannaberg, in 1862 in Plsen. Rosalia was a close ancestor of Lise Meitner, a prominent physicist whose work with Otto Hahn from 1917-1938 laid the groundwork for human-controlled atomic fission, and ultimately nuclear energy and warfare.Inventory available in folder 1/1Detailed inventory of correspondence with partial translations also available in folder 1/1Folders with Machzor books also contain partial translations of their marginaliaPhotographs removed to Photograph CollectiondigitizedMeitner, Lise, 1878-1968Professions and occupations; physicist
