Lise Meitner’s identity — Jewish and a woman — prevented her from winning a Nobel Prize and sharing credit for discovering the process that enabled the creation of the atomic bomb, according to newly translated documents.

Meitner helped develop the theory of nuclear fission, working closely with Otto Hahn, who was named the sole Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1944. The discovery was key to the Manhattan Project, the top-secret American effort led by J. Robert Oppenheimer to develop the first nuclear weapons. Meitner was nominated 46 times for the Nobel in both Physics and Chemistry, but never won.
