Abstract

The article focuses on the scientific achievements and subsequent marginalization of Lise Meitner, who played a central role in the discovery of nuclear fission but was denied recognition due to gender and political biases. Topics include Meitner's pioneering work in nuclear physics, her collaboration and disputes with Otto Hahn and colleagues, and the controversies surrounding her exclusion from the Nobel Prize and historical memory.
