A-Bomb Woman?

 From the woman who acted in a moral manner was now known as the creator of the Hiroshi bomb.

Lise Meitner was an Austrian physicist who had fought challenges including sexism, credibility in her work and volunteered her services of being a nurse during world war one.

Her work goes on to discovering new elements which became of interest to other higher forces of authority. Meitner and other scientists were invited to a conference in America discussing on chemical reactions and the impact of this. It was soon recognised, any information released, could be used by the government in a negative light; Meitner protested and claimed, “I will have nothing to do with a bomb”. Regardless her research led to the production of the atom bomb dropped at Hiroshima, Japan.

Now the question we inquire is how? She is a woman whose research intended on the good for humanity, why is she socially labelled as the mother of the atomic bomb? Even Albert Einstein recognised her talents, “Our Marie Curie”; it’s ironic, Curie’s future led to her recognition of killing the nation yet her work led to a charity established after her. What is it about Meitner that embodies a tragedy to her name?

But know one thing, like all unsung heroes her heart intention was good.
