Sisters in Science:
How Four Women Physicists Escaped Nazi Germany and Made Scientific History

When the Nazis forced Jewish people and women out of public service and university jobs, eminent physicists Hedwig Kohn, Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer and Hildegard Stücklen all lost their positions. They were all forced to flee the country, but sexism meant finding a job abroad to whisk them to safety was virtually impossible. These women went on to revolutionize physics and inspire other women to do the same. Campbell weaves a compelling, cinematic tale of seeking light in dark times.
