Lise Meitner
Lise Meitner was an Austrian-Swedish physicist who made significant contributions to nuclear physics, particularly in the discovery of nuclear fission. Although she was part of the team that conducted the experiments leading to this groundbreaking discovery, her contributions were largely overlooked during her lifetime. Meitner was later recognized for her work, which laid the foundation for future advancements in nuclear science and earned her a place among history's most important female scientists.
