She was the first woman to become a full professor of physics in Germany. She was nominated 19 times for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and 29 times for the Nobel Prize in Physics. But only her partner, a man, received the Nobel Prize for their findings on nuclear fission and it is suspected that her contribution was overlooked because of her gender.
