    Lise Meitner


    The ( E V C I S D R O Y ) (discover) in 1938 that a neutron could split an atom's core came as a complete surprise.

    There was no ( O A T C R L I T E H E ) (theory) basis on which nuclear fission could be predicted and none of its ( V R S O D R E S E C I ) (discover) had the slightest
    ( G K L E O E D N W ) (know) of its eventual use in atomic bombs and power plants.

    That much is ( S D L T A E U I P I N B ) (dispute).

    The question of who deserves ( O E I G R I T C O N N ) (recognize) for the discovery is, however, a bone of contention.

    Of the 3 ( S I T E S I C T N S ) (science) involved, one of them, Lise Meitner, was a woman.

    The standard ( O N N I T E X P L A A ) (explain) which has been ( C A R U L L Y C T N I I ) (critic) accepted, is that she was a physicist and the discovery depended on chemical experiments.

    But is this the whole ( T U H R T ) (true)?

    In all ( I E O H L D I L O K ) (likely), the reason has more to do with the fact that she was a woman and that she had to flee persecution. Her exile led to the Nobel committee's ( E F I R L A U ) (fail) to recognize her contribution in the discovery of nuclear fission.
