Paperback Publication Day!

Happy paperback publication day to my second book, SISTERS IN SCIENCE!

Dive into the true story of Hedwig Kohn, Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer, and Hildegard Stücklen. They were brilliant physicists working in Germany at the dawn of the nuclear and quantum age. They fought sexism and discrimination to get where they were, working twice as hard as their colleagues to prove they deserved a seat at the table (or lab, as it were). The women worked with the likes of Einstein, Bohr, Planck, Franck, but you’ve likely never heard of them.

Two were Jewish, and two were not, but all four were forced to flee the country after Nazi policies saw them lose their jobs. Their harrowing journey out of Germany became a life-and-death situation that required Herculean efforts. Lise narrowly escaped to Sweden, where she made a groundbreaking discovery that would forever change the world. The others fled to the United States, where they brought advanced physics to American universities. Along the way, they helped each other through this dark, difficult time, and ensured they were not just surviving, but thriving.

These woman revolutionized the field of physics when all odds were stacked against them, and went on to inspire young women to do the same.
