Recruited not only from labs and universities from across the United States but also from countries abroad, these scientists helped in -- and often initiated -- the development of the atomic bomb, taking starring roles in the Manhattan Project. In fact, their involvement was critical to its success, though many of them were not fully aware of the consequences. The atomic women include: Lise Meitner and Iraene Joliot-Curie (daughter of Marie Curie), who led the groundwork for the Manhattan Project from Europe; Elizabeth Rona, the foremost expert in plutonium, who gave rise to the "Fat Man" and "Little Boy," the bombs dropped over Japan;Leona Woods, Elizabeth Graves, and Joan Hinton, who were inspired by European scientific ideals but carved their own paths." --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 MO Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 355.82511 Mo Transit   Add Copy to MyList
