    "abstract": "The recently published book, ``Lise Meitner and the Dawn of the Nuclear\nAge\u0027\u0027, by Patricia Rife (Boston: Birkh\\\"{a}user, 1999) is reviewed in an essay\nfor the lay audience. Meitner was a leading nuclear physicist at the time that\nthe nucleus was the most exciting frontier of science. To establish her career,\nshe had to overcome daunting prejudices against women in science and academia.\nBeing of Jewish origin in Germany in the 1930\u0027s, she narrowly escaped certain\ndisaster. Meitner was a crucial participant in the discovery of nuclear\nfission, yet did not share in the Nobel Prize that her collaborator, Otto Hahn,\nreceived in 1945. How these events came about, how they were intertwined with\ncontemporary history and how they fit into the evolution of Meitner\u0027s social\nconscience and her abhorrence of war are some of the fascinating subjects\ndiscussed in the book and reviewed in this essay.",
