But then she passed away just after she had about wrapped up her research. When it came time to give her recognition her name was nowhere to be found. She did all the work and got none of the recognition for it. Another example is Lise Meitner, a very big role in the discovering of nuclear fission.

After, Otto Hahn, the man who worked with Lise for the 30 years, published a book about "his" findings without putting Lise anywhere to get recognition. …show more content…
She had "overturned the laws of physics by developing the atom bomb. Now she was not alone in her research and testing's but if you haven't guessed already, she got absolutely zero percent of the work she put in. For 17 years she work and researched and when it came time to receive her award she was not in her groups award, in fact they excluded her from the whole research process.
