"," by Olivia Campbell, tells the story of four prominent female physicists - Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer, Hedwig Kohn, and Hildegard St眉cklen - who were forced to flee Nazi Germany, two due due to their Jewish heritage. Their sisterhood and scientific curiosity helped them navigate perilous escapes and continue their groundbreaking research in new countries, including the United States. These women ultimately revolutionized the field of physics despite immense obstacles, leading to a Nobel Prize (although not awarded to them) and highlighting the power of female solidarity in the face of adversity.
