There are mentions of biographies, titled "Lise Meitner: A life in Physics" by Ruth Lewin Sime, and "Lise Meitner and the Dawn of the Nuclear Age" by Patricia Rife in my search engine results. If they are available in your local library, perhaps these books can help you. |

"She never married, or even, as far as anyone can tell, had a serious love affair, but her capacity for friendship was very great." source: Page IX "Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics (California Studies in the History of Science , Vol. 13)" by Ruth Lewin Sime, read using Amazon's "search inside" feature: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0520208609/ Good luck! -juggler |

Thanks for the link juggler, it made for interesting reading. Perhaps she'll need to be cast as as ice maiden. |

In Berlin, she met a chemist and fell in love. Passions: Chemistry lectures She longed so desperately to hear a chemistry lecture that she sneaked into the amphitheatre and hit under the tiers of seats to listen. Astronomy. Music and physics became Lise?s two grand passions. Jogging for exercise. Friends!

Thanks anniesdes. The nap.edu link is great. Very easy to lose an afternoon there. What I'm looking for are stories, anecdotes etc. that give details of a 'falling in love' by LM for the piece I'm doing. I've yet to find it. Did she foreswear the physical for the cerebral all her life or was there 'someone, once'. She had physics, friends and fiano [my alliteration :-)] but was there more? |

She loved to go for walks in the mountains. Skiing. She served as a medical assistant during World War I. Another interesting story of Meitner: The Emulsion of Lise Meitner in the Island of the Transparent Heartbeat ?Lise Meitner spent her days worrying that the Aztecs were an eagle eating a race to occupy the world, that the scientists in the cactus, called codices, would ascend to declare that from these glasses all people were built. She understood that the uncertainty of their ritual for reproduction involved the right of the answer to be clouded by emulsion ? she struggled with it ? the wearing of the ambiguity and the white, a volunteer of the island in the transparent heartbeat.? http://www.unf.edu/mudlark/mudlark22/little.html List of books that you have to go to your Library for further research: The Greatest Power on Earth - The Story of Nuclear Fission / Ronald W. Clark - Sidgewick & Jackson - 1980 Women and Science /Brenda Clarke - Wayland - 1989 The Physicists - A Generation that Changed the World / C.P. Snow - Macmillan -1981 What Little I Remember / Otto Frisch - Cambridge University Press - 1991 A Brief History of Time /Stephen Hawking - Bantam Press - 1996 The Illustrated History of the World /Various - RD Press - 1993 When Where Why and How it Happened / Michael Worth Davison - Reader's Digest - 1993 The Photography Book / Phaidon Press - 1997 Encyclopaedia Britannica volume. 14, 18 Biographical Dictionary of Scientists /Collins - 1991 Encyclopaedia of Physics /R.M. Besancon - Van Nostra & Reinhold Co. ? 1974 All the research I?ve done did not bring anything up about relationships that she had, although some sites mentioned that she fell in love with ?a Chemist?. Her life was dedicated to her work only. Hope these books will bring something up and good luck with your project. |
