Hertha Sponer: a Woman’S Life as a Physicist in the 20Th Century ''So You Won't Forget Me''
Just three women qualified for a professorship in physics in Germany before the Second World War. All three began their careers with great promise; all three had to leave Hitlers Germany, among them Hertha Sponer. An ambitious girl, she had to struggle to achieve the education she craved, culminating in a Ph.D. at the University of Gttingen. There followed an apprenticeship in Berlin, and work under the aegis of James Franck, around the time he received the Nobel Prize. Their academic world was shattered by the Nazis. Sponer reluctantly embarked on a new life in North Carolina. She succeeded as Professor of Physics at Duke University. She became a recognized authority on the electronic spectra of aromatic molecules (benzene and derivatives). Late in life, she became the second wife of James Franck.
Iris Runge
This book concerns the origins of mathematical problem solving at the internationally active Osram and Telefunken Corporations during the golden years of broadcasting and electron tube research. The woman scientist Iris Runge, who received an interdisciplinary education at the University of Göttingen, was long employed as the sole mathematical authority at these companies in Berlin. It will be shown how mathematical connections were made between statistics and quality control, and between physical-chemical models and the actual problems of mass production. The organization of industrial laboratories, the relationship between theoretical and experimental work, and the role of mathematicians ...
Science and Conscience
"Originally published in German under the title Aufrecht im Sturm der Zeit: Der Physiker James Franck, 1882-1964."
Female, Jewish, and Educated
Female, Jewish, and Educated presents a collective biography of Jewish women who attended universities in Germany or Austria before the Nazi era. To what extent could middle-class Jewish women in the early decades of the 20th century combine family and careers? What impact did anti-Semitism and gender discrimination have in shaping their personal and professional choices? Harriet Freidenreich analyzes the lives of 460 Central European Jewish university women, focusing on their family backgrounds, university experiences, professional careers, and decisions about marriage and children. She evaluates the role of discrimination and anti-Semitism in shaping the careers of academics, physicians, and lawyers in the four decades preceding World War II and assesses the effects of Nazism, the Holocaust, and emigration on the lives of a younger cohort of women. The life stories of the women profiled reveal the courage, character, and resourcefulness with which they confronted challenges still faced by women today.
Science, Gender, and Internationalism
Founded in 1920, the International Federation of University brought together women committed to promoting higher education across divisions hardened by global conflict. Here, Christine von Oertzen traces the IFUW's international rise and Cold War decline, making a valuable contribution to the cultural, diplomatic, and intellectual history.
Margot Sponer. Do galego antigo ás fronteiras da resistencia.
Margot Sponer foi en 1935 seguramente a autora da primeira tese presentada nunha Universidade, a de Berlín, sobre a lingua galega. Titulada Algalizische Urkunden ou Documentos antigos de Galicia, era un un texto semellante en forma e funcións ao que M. Pidal publicara en 1919 sobre documentos medievais casteláns. A Margot Sponer tocoulle no Terceiro Reich vivir unha violencia extrema fronte a que nunca se someteu. Neste estudio intentase reconstruír, de maneira entrecortada -os datos son irregulares-, unha vida de investigación , pero tamén de dignidade, de respecto e de axuda aos demais que a levou a participar na resistencia contra o nazismo en Alemaña. Apórtase documentación sobr...
"Wir bitten nur um Dispens für den vorliegenden einzigartig liegenden Fall" – die Habilitation Emmy Noethers
* Die Autorin legt mit diesem Band die zweite Veröffentlichung einer Reihe vor, in der in loser Folge Ergebnisse ihrer biografischen Forschungen zu der Mathematikerin Emmy Noether publiziert werden sollen. Dabei ist das aus ihrer inzwischen fast dreißigjährigen Beschäftigung mit Emmy Noether hervorgegangene Projekt "Lebens- und Familiengeschichte Emmy Noethers" nicht linear, auf Noethers Lebensweg fokussiert, angelegt, sondern mehrdimensional unter Einbeziehung des gesamten familiären und historischen Umfelds. In diesem zweiten Band der Reihe wird die spannende Habilitationsgeschichte Emmy Noethers im Detail aufgerollt und damit gleichzeitig ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Geschichte der akad...
