Sisters in Science: How Four Women Physicists Escaped Nazi Germany and Made Scientific History
科學姐妹：四位女物理學家如何逃離納粹德國並創造科學歷史
內容介紹
四位物理學先驅在二戰期間的非凡真實故事以及她們大膽逃離納粹德國的經歷
在1930年代，德國是科學思想的溫床。但在納粹掌權後，猶太人和女性被迫離開了她們的學術職位。海德薇·科恩(Hedwig Kohn)、麗澤·邁特納(Lise Meitner)、赫塔·斯彭納(Hertha Sponer)和希爾德加德·施特克倫(Hildegard Stücklen)在各自的領域中都很傑出，但由於她們的猶太血統或反納粹立場，她們別無選擇，只能逃離德國。
她們逃離德國的驚險旅程成了一場生死攸關的局面，需要朋友和其他著名科學家的巨大努力。麗澤逃往瑞典，在那裡她在核物理領域取得了突破性的發現，其他人則逃往美國，將先進的物理學帶到美國的大學。無論她們的目的地在哪裡，每位女性在逆境中都對物理學領域進行了革命性的變革，激勵了年輕女性也這樣做。
《科學姐妹》資料翔實，文筆如電影劇本般生動，將這些開拓性的女性栩栩如生地呈現出來，展示了姐妹情誼和科學好奇心如何跨越國界，並在看似不可逾越的困難面前堅持下來——甚至繁榮發展。

書評
"A deeply researched account of four pioneering scientists and their escape from Nazi Germany. These women were extraordinary in their field and left a legacy that transcends borders and will inspire countless generations to come." – Kate Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not Silence
"A true story of passion and grit, SISTERS IN SCIENCE honors the pioneering women physicists who fled Nazi persecution, only to confront sexist treatment and new challenges in America. Campbell celebrates their prowess and resilience with admirable skill." – Jason Fagone, author of the bestselling The Woman Who Smashed Codes: A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine Who Outwitted America's Enemies
"As Hitler's murderous intentions became clear in the 1930s, many members of Germany’s remarkable community of physicists began seeking sanctuary in other countries. Women scientists, however, were at a disadvantage owing to sexist ideas and refugee quotas. Sisters in Science is the moving true story of how four women physicists managed to elude the fate Hitler had in store for them, and lived to enrich their adopted countries—and the world. We owe them thanks for their bravery and brilliance, and thanks, as well, to Olivia Campbell for bringing this heroic story to light." – Liza Mundy, author of The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA and the New York Times Best Selling Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Code Breakers of World War II
"A captivating story of wrenching struggle and bittersweet victory. For four brilliant women scientists in Germany in the 1930s they had already struggled enough - to gain a degree in physics and then to scratch for a modicum of respect. Then the Nazis took even that away. This is their story - one of struggle, sisterhood, groundbreaking discoveries, and then a fight to survive. This is the truth of women's contributions to physics in a time of momentous breakthroughs, their work against overwhelming odds, and their contributions to opening doors for next generations of women scientists." – Mari K. Eder, Maj. Gen., U.S. Army Retired, Author of The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line
