In 1923, she published an article about non-radioctive transition known as the Auger effect.

In 1934, she created the "uranium project" with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann. This project enabled the discovery of nuclear fission. This breakthrough was a phenomenal finding. Indeed, nuclear fission is the basis of nuclear bombs. Then, this discovery let scientists create this bomb.

Albert Einstein also called her the "german Marie Curie". Eventhough they proposed to Lise Meitner to participate to the Los Alamos project, she refused the idea of creating a bomb. Her nephew, Otto Frisch will say later:

"Lise Meitner: a physicist who never lost her humanity "

In spite of all her discovery, Lise Meitner nerver received a Nobel price, but Otto Hahn, who worked for years with her, earned the Nobel price of Chemistry in 1944. This price was for his discoveries, so the Lise Meitner discoveries.

Her different prices:

• 1925 : Lieben Price for her studies on beta and gamma radius ;

• 1947 : Vienna honorable price for science  ;

• 1949 : Physics german society Max-Planck medal, with Otto Hahn  ;

• 1955 : Otto Hahn price for chemistry and physics  ;

Ada lovelace

Birth: 10 december 1815, London

Death: 27 novembre 1852, Marylebone

From an early age, Lovelace showed an early interest in mathematics and logic, encouraged by her mother. Despite health problems, she received a strong education in mathematics and science, which was rare for women at the time. Ada Lovelace is famous for her work on Charles Babbage's analytical machine. She is considered the first computer programmer, having written the first algorithm to be executed by a machine.

Margaret Hamilton, a computer pioneer, carved her name in history as a leader in the development of flight guidance software for NASA’s Apollo program. Her work was crucial to the success of the Apollo 11 mission, which allowed man to walk on the moon in 1969. Her determination and expertise were essential to the success of these historic missions. Hamilton has also been an important voice for diversity and inclusion in technology, encouraging the participation of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Her work paved the way for many women in the computer field and inspired generations of girls to pursue careers in technology. She receive in 2016 the présidential medal of freedom from B.O for her impact on science. Margaret Hamilton deserves a prominent place in the Women’s Hall of Fame thanks to her legacy and impact that continue to influence the field of computing and space exploration, and she remains an iconic figure for women in technology. Also by this award we can undurline her work and fight that are under tell

She was a palaeontologist, author and a campaigner for eugenics, advocating for women's reproductive rights.
