Event Description
Enjoy chatting about what you've read? Looking for some encouragement to read more? Join us for an afternoon of coffee, tea, and enthusiastic discussion at our monthly book club for adults. We'd love to have you come! This month's book is "Sisters in Science" by Olivia Campbell.
In the 1930s, Germany was a hotbed of scientific thought. But after the Nazis took power, Jewish and female citizens were forced out of their academic positions. Hedwig Kohn, Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer, and Hildegard Stücklen were eminent in their fields, but they had no choice but to flee due to their Jewish ancestry or anti-Nazi sentiments. Their harrowing journey out of Germany became a life-and-death situation that required herculean efforts of friends and other prominent scientists. No matter their destination, each woman revolutionized the field of physics when all odds were stacked against them, galvanizing young women to do the same.
