Quote:Women in the History of Quantum Physics includes 14 deeply researched chapters about women who contributed to the field from the 1920s onwards, many of whom worked during times when some of the field’s most celebrated and influential men were active, including Niels Bohr, Wolfgang Pauli and Paul Dirac. Though I have spent almost a decade either studying or writing about quantum physics, I must admit that I had heard of only two of these women – mathematician and philosopher Grete Hermann and nuclear physicist Chien-Shiung Wu.
