But he knew the woman who sent the cable — she was Lisa Meitner,a famous physicist . She had a doctor ’ s degree and in 1908 she ’ d gone to work in Berlin . There was another young physicist named Otto Hahn,her close colleague . Women weren ’ t allowed to work in the laboratory,so Hahn and Meitner had created their own lab ina carpenter ’ s shop . They worked on nuclear fission( 裂变)until WW Ⅰ. Then Meitner joined the Austrian army as an X-ray technician . But she kept working with Hahn whenever they both could get away on leave .
